When to pay the CSA?

Blue_Horizon

My payments schedule shows a date range for payment to the CSA - 26 September to 25 October. I spoke to the CSA and they said I must pay at the beginning of this, ie, in advance. But I'm still wondering whether I really should pay at the end, ie, in this case by 25 October?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I don't know what their rules are but on my statements, the charge is on the 16th & they receive my payment on the 17th of each month.
I don't know if they arranged this because I told them I get paid on the 15th of each month, but I guess they did.

DDTD - Thanks - is that in arrears or in advance or somehting else?

Not sure that is right because we were told firstly by the solicitor then by the CSA themselves that you pay the CSA in arrears rather than advance

Agree, I think i've read that round here before, too. you pay csa in arrears. Kelloggs will be able to give you a definate answer when she arrives. I'm having a stab and it sounds familiar but I could be mixed up with something else.

CS is paid in arrears .

My CS is paid in arrears of one month. I don't know why the figures are like that, but that's what they say on the statements.

My Son was 19 on 15th May 2008, but I still paid a full months payment on the 16th May, so that was my one month's arrears sorted.
