You could close the old CSA1 rulings down and then wait 13 weeks (I think?? and phone up and open a new case under CSA2 rulings.

My ex has been nill assessment for the past 4ish years. I came on here and started a thread about how my ex doesnt have to pay child support to me but he has to pay arrears off to the Government. It was in that thread that I found out about closing old rulings down and opening new rulings.

From what I have been told under new CSA2 rules a parent without care cant be awared nil assessment.

Good luck[/

I have a 10 year old child, she received no suport for 6 years :rolleyes: then just a diabolical 2.70 a week for the last 3 years (Dad in full time work with no other children at home!!!). I closed my old CSA1 case down, waited the 13 weeks and am now on the new system with my daughter now receiving a much fairer amount, the CSA were very helpful moving me on to the new system. Don't give up...........

Thanks Fiona, I can't believe your ex paid so little!!

Well CSA phoned me today to let me know that I'd not receive anymore payments from them.

I think I will go onto CS2 and just wondering if anyone knows of any downsides to doing this?

I cannot believe what a absolute load of carp the CSA are :mad:

Well I closed my case today. I cried (i'm not too sure why)
Just going to have to wait 13 weeks now until I open the next one although they said because he has arrears owing to the secretary of state there might be problems setting the next case up. I just can't be @rsed anymore.

I'm so pleased you have closed the old CSA1 rulings down and gone with a new case.

Only bit of advice I can give you, just make sure they follow this timeline

http://www.csa.gov.uk/en/case/hows-my-application.asp

I havent come across a problem with the arrears my ex owes. From what I could make out, he would be given a time frame (2 years) to pay the arrears off, whilst still making child support payments. But then I'm not in contact with him:D so cant find out if that was the case:rotfl:

Thanks outrageous_monkey.

I feel relieved and i think that's why I cried. No more feeling like I'm banging my head against a brick wall. Well not for 13 weeks at least :rolleyes:

For this read " We can't be @rsed to do our job properly ".

You need to escalate this and involve your MP. Get the idiots doing what they are employed for.

The only " problem " is that some fool decided to buy a computer system that can't add 2 and 2 together. Thats not your concern. Badger them with the help of your MP and see the difference it makes.
