Has anybody got any advice about my problem please?

IN fact the law states the effective date and this is when the money is due from - they are perfectly within their rights to request payment from you backdated for however long it has taken them - sorry to be harsh but that is how it works. The assessment is calculated as of a specific date - in the past - so your new weekly payments change and so the arrears have built up over that time. It would also work the other way round - except most NRPs quickly notify the CSA of any reduction in wages, so it rarely happens!

I started to pay to CSA from 2006, but because I get paid by dividents, so I dont have to pay anything for the CSA (according to their laws).

GW_94 If you get paid by dividends they still take that as income so you will be assesed on that as well >I hope that is the casethat they don't include dividends

Ahhh....have just read how much your arrears are,

So you could ask to pay £79.75 per month towards your arrears on top of your assessment that you have been given.

If you have the children to stay overnight then don't forget that your assessment will be reduced by 1/7 for each night they stay. SO if for example your assessement was £70pw and they stayed 2 nights a week, then you would pay £50.

Hi Loopy Girl,

I have my kids every other weekend, but sometimes my ex keep changing the plan, so sometimes I can only see them once a month.

The CSA gave to me a payment schedule which is I have to pay for them the normal amount plus all arrears within 1 year (start from this Dec until 2010). So can I ask them to pay the arrears in 2 years?

Yes you can. The steer is for over 2 years so I don't see why you should be any different.

You need to work out how many days over the year you have the kids.

Under CSA2, if you have them for more than 52 days a year, you can get a reduction,

What different between CSA1 and CSA2? I am under CSA2 at the moment?

Thanx,

Loopy_Girl

Cases pre March 2003 are CSA1, cases post are CSA2

CSA1 is a v complicated formula taking housing costs, travel to work costs and things like that into it. Extremely hard to understand and our resident expert on it is Kelloggs!!

CSA2 only takes the NRP income into acount and it's more simplified - 15% of income for 1 child, 20% for 2 and 25% for 3 or more children.

Thank you so much for all your replies.

Let me tell you guys a bit more about my case.

I started to pay to CSA from 2006, but because I get paid by dividents, so I dont have to pay anything for the CSA (according to their laws). But I still give cash to my ex which was £120, and now is £200 per month. And my ex is on child benefit, and coucil house at the moment.

My ex wife applied the application requesting the CSA have a look again about my case in April. So till 30/04/2009 I have received the letter from CSA informed me they've received an application for a variation to a child maintenance from my ex and

I have heard nothing from them untill the 22/09/09 stated that I have to pay £6 per week from 18/03/09. But on the 07/10/09 I have received another letter from them said that I have to pay £73.71 pw from 18/03/09. Only after less than one month, how come they could change their decision that bloody quick?!?!?! That's why I have contacted them, and explain the situation that I have been giving my ex £200 per month, (and she admitted that to the CSA as well). So they said they will have a look again about my case.

And on the 09/11/09, they sent me another letter, stated that I didn't pay £73.71, my payment is overdue, and also said that I own them £2800.

I called them again, after that conversation, they agreed that as I have been paying my ex £200 per month, so they deducted it, and said my arrears is about £1500.

I dont mind to pay through the CSA, but I just disagree with the arrears, its totally out of the blue, and unfair.

How come it can be possible?

Good luck mate,the CSA nazi`s wont care if you cant afford to live.
As long as your filling there coffers,swelling there bonus`s and collection rates,thats all they care about.
You cant afford even a benefits level of existance? So what! Pay up!:mad:
