child support

ann 1971! I understand where you are coming from, but the CSA do try to take well over the amount that they are supposed to, and untill they are held accountable for this they will continue so to do!

No I will pay just carn't afford to pay it all in one go. Plus they are taking into account my children who live with me tax credits this is not right that money is for them not other child who lives with the ex which gets his tax credit claim with her

ann1971

I agree with you both. Tax credits should never be included as income in my opinion. I was not getting at you Kenzo, just wanted to forewarn you in case you did not know they could do a deo.
Someone needs to start a campaign to have tax credits removed as income for assessments

I never thought you were its okay.
Yes something needs to be done else they are going to keep walking all over familys who are really stuggling with money situations. If everyone was well off they wouldn't need tax credits or any other sort of benifits.

Thing is the csa legislation was passed by the very mp's who complain on behalf of those having to pay it! Sure I read somewhere the new system will not use tax credits, but that could be years away yet so not much help

My DH ex got the CSA involved despite getting regular maintenance because she thought she could get more using the CSA, It took 18mths to sort out and she was £80 a month worse off.

Also she used to receive maintanance on the 1st and heaven forbid we were a day late as it went into her bank account on the 2nd jan, apparantly that was unfair:eek:

Why do they feel they have to get involved even when regular money is paid:mad:

Surprisingly she didnt go to them when we gave her £100 a week cash when she was on benefits

I don't think they should get involved if the NRP can prove they have been paying regularly straight to the PWC, with proof of bank statements or receipts signed by the PWC. Surely that would save the CSA a lot of administration fees if a NRP pays through a private agreement. They should be encouraging it.

sorry me been a bit slow what is the "whit book"

Sorry a bit slow on this one, The 'White Book is the the book that the Judges has and is used by the Courts and the legal bods. It is the rules that they are bound by, in the event that these rules are not complied with, it is grounds for appeal.

If you want a copy, I am told it cost about £1,000 a go, but you can find it on the web just dont ask me where, I did find it once!

Hope it helps

Be aware, that if your child is in further education, you will be liable for payments via the CSA until they are 19.

Could I ask a question on this point? I understand that Child Benefit now goes up to 20, so has CSA not got to be paid up to then if the child is on a course?
