my partner has been told today he owes in excess of £2,ooo csa arrears. He had been paying csa, was then ill and needed care, then became bankcrupt,then his employers at a later date where paying his csa direct. how is it possible still to be in arrears? his youngest came out of education 2 yrs ago. he has asked for a detailed account. for me where do i stand, house is in my name only, we live in scotland, so many horror stories of bailiffs!! please advise.

Ask for your data protection file, template on NACSA website and send it recorded delivery, it should contain all info CSA have relating to your case. Put in writing a request for an account breakdown, again send recorded delivery, and also put in an appeal asap, again in writing, recorded delivery.

This is the perfect example of why any correspondence with the CSA should only be done in writing, keeping copies of everything sent & received & sending everything by recorded delivery.:mad:

If you cannot prove that you notified them of any change in circumstances, then they are absolutely correct that your assessment will stand. If you know you didn't tell them, then it is far too late for them to back date any change in circumstances now.

CSA is paid on percentage of wages, how on earth can they ask for money over and above what the NRP can prove they have earned?

Is the arrears from before he was made bankrupt? If so and the bankruptcy was done in Scotland (sequestration) he needs to tell the csa as under scottish law they cannot pursue for arrears before the date of sequestration if he included the csa date on it.

Should add this is not applciable to english bankruptcies, all csa debt does not count with it.
