    He has paid today and has written in a duplicate receipt book. He included todays date, his name, who he was paying, how much he was paying, the period of time it relates to, the fact that it is maintenance and the names of the children it is for. He then wrote 'I have received the above amount' and PWC has signed it. What's not surprising is that the CSA haven't even sent her a letter yet to tell how much she will be getting!

    Sounds perfect!
    Although I still have MASSIVE reservations about making cash payments

    Don't lose those signed receipts as they could possibly become invaluable in the future. If you can then you should scan them into a pc and you will then have 2 copies. (your copy and the computer copy).

    I would really insist on talking to someone more senior than your case worker as although in your eyes you may be in credit it may not work out that way in the end. Someone else we know had their case go clerical and they weren't requested to actually make payments for 6 months (although they were advised to put money into a seperate account for when their assessment was worked out properly). Now i'm not suggesting you do this but if she isn't trustworthy and you leave any gap for error she will be quids in:rolleyes:. Have you told them you are happy to pay by direct debit via the csa? (if you are in fact happy to pay by this option?). Both sides need to be protected when it comes to child maintenance, they need the money to live and you also need to be in a position where you don't end up paying twice!
    Was it "computer says no":rotfl:

    Totally agree!
