Hi Jando

The Court Date you are talking about, what is it for? If it is the CSA that are taking you to Court then when they have put the papers in you will be told.

If it is for a Form N 245 they will have to send the papers out and wait for the answers so pos 3 to 4 weeks, but it depends. Though once the Court has sent out the papers eveything else will have to stop untill the case is heard.

JSA is Job Seekers Allowance.

I had a letter which is Notice of intention to apply for a liability order ,
I am not on jsa then i work full time, but on minimum wages.

The letter i had from them states that i can pay my debt in full within the next 7 days and can pay by credit or debit card over the phone ( there having a laugh )

Can you please post the exact text that the csa have used in their letter to you, leaving out your personal stuff of course

I thought that if you were self employed as i was and was not earning enough to pay csa, then until that time that you were in employment you would start paying from then. I was self employed up until 11 years ago, i was not earning enough to pay csa, I was sent to court ,was told by the judge i had to pay or have my lively hood taken away, that ment prison, i went into a deep depresion for a while didnt pay anything, didn't care what happened to me, didn't work almost lost my home. I managed to pull myself out of it with help, i got a job in 1998, since then the csa have come at me with this for back payment from 1994 / 2005. For those of you who thought the same as i did Beware learn from my lesson,I certainly am.

Very similar situation to myself, my daughter is 24 this year.

I don't know if they wrote to you between 1998 and 2005, but in my case they didn't. Its imperative you counter them and the first thing I suggest is asking for all the information they have on you and you do this by way of Data Protection ACT, they have to post to you all your files.

I did this in March with help from a solicitor (you don't need a lawyer to get your files), I have heard absoutely nothing since a letter we wrote to them in April this year and its now August. They have so much wrong information that I actually wish it goes to court, as they would not have a leg to stand on.

The DEO is a problem and having a fixed abode will also mean they will go down the baliff route. Do everything in writing and above all don't be scared, thats what they want. It freightens many people to paying beyond there means and keeping to this 2 year steer which has no legality in a court of law. In many cases the court see the lack of correspondance by the CSA and they tend to give more suitable terms to repay the debt, if the CSA themselves have not acted on a consistent basis and kept regular contact with you. Your case obviously ended in 2005 or 2006? In my case, they sent first documentation in June 2008 when My daughter was 22

I am self-employed, but paid my child for a number of years personally which I can prove if it goes any further. I suspect my debt is simply suspendid until I go on DEO as the figure I saw from the Data Protection files stands at just over £4,000, they have not acted upon it as yet.

good luck

blimey40 By the sound of it your falls into the historic debt and is therefor not a priority.

They go after the ones that are active [so the money goes to the gov!] and have children of an age that is relevent. Thatis what I have been told how true that is, who knows, for sure they dont!

blimey40

Sure, but this guy has an historic debt and seems he is being chased. Agree, historic debt was pushed 12-18 months ago, it seemed a way for the theiving so and so's to accumlate huge amounts and try to balance the books to make it look as if they were financially viable and it certainly helped for a while. Onus, now is making sure more recent debt is up to date and being paid
