Quick Question about Deos and liability orders

dopher

Hi my partner has a deduction of earnings order on his wages for the csa, he just received a letter today from the csa saying that the amount he is paying will not pay back the full amount he owes with in two years so they are going to apply for a liability order, my partner phoned them and explained that we couldn't afford to pay any more and they suggested we could apply for a loan or ask a family to lend us the money. I've checked the net and some sites say that they can't get a liability order if a deduction from earnings order is in place and working and some sites say they can. Could somebody please give me a definite answer as to weather they can apply for a liability order. Thanks in advance.

You need to get some help with this. Have you tried Nacsa? they are great for help especially when the case is complicated or has arrears.
Secondly did you take the name of the person who suggested you get a loan? Also note down the time and date of call and contact someone in Nacsa and see if you can take this further as they are not regulated by the fsa and therefore are NOT allowed to suggest you take out a loan. I am all for getting these people disciplined and hopefully these people can eventually get sacked for misconduct:T

Thanks for the helpful replies I will have a look at Nacsa. We only have the first name of the woman he spoke to but she's going to phone back on Friday to see if we've managed to find the money so we'll try and get her full name then. Can anyone tell me if the csa can go for a liability order if they are already taking payment for maintenance and arrears through a deduction of earnings order

Yes they can - whether they enforce it is what you should be worried about. The LO just secures the debt in law, but it is action it allows them to take once they have it that you will want to avoid.
