CSA not interested in recovering back payments

Hi,
Just posting on behalf of my wife.
She has a 15 year old daughter from a previous relationship which also ended 15 years ago.
The father has only payed around £500 in CSA payments in the total 15 years.
We have phoned the CSA various times, but they are not really interested in trying to recover any money wed from these years.
Her ex over the years, used to leave a job once the CSA caught up with him and go into another job where the same would happen.
We now know where he is working again and is earning over £50k a year and still not paying anything.
Is there anything we can do to recover the amount from 15 years?
Thanks.

Has a case with the CSA been open all the time?
Ring them with all the details you have about him now and ask for an assessment. I would imagine there must be arrears due, apart from when he wasn't working.
Maybe it would be an idea to put in a complaint and get your MP involved.Be who you are, say what you feel, those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind.They say that talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness. So I talk to the cats instead.0 -
but if the NRP didn't tell them he wasn't working the arrears could be huge and doing a moonlight flit is not the same as notifying them that they have left.0

I would certainly get your wife to contact the CSA asap and make them aware of the change of circumstance. There could well be arrears, lets hope. (Harsh, but I'm not a fan of NRP's who avoid their financial responsibilities this way, or any other way come to it)0
