Jumped Ship Again....

Hi, a bit of advice please.
The nrp time left his job because the csa caught up with him. This is the 2nd time he has done this.
I managed to get 2 weeks payments via deductions from his salary and when I rang the csa to find out why only 2 weeks payments and not a full month they told me that he is now claiming benefits so my payments will be a whopping £5 per week.

What I want to know is that the payments that I was supposed to receive included an amount for arrears as he now owes a few grand. Can arrears also be deducted from his benefits along with the £5 he has to pay?

No £5 is the maximum they can deduct from benefits. So just have to sit tight untill he gets another job. I was in the same boat as you, every time NRP got a job and CSA caught up with him he left, went onto JSA then when was told £5 would be deducted he signed off!
Sounds like he will try do everything possible to avoid paying so dont get your hopes up about recieving money soon!
Im due almost 7 years worth of CSA and not recieved a penny because of NRP avoiding things!

Thank you Karenx
Is there any type of enforcement that can be taken against him at all? I am really fed up that he can do this to his own child, its not that I want the money for myself as the 2 weeks payment I managed to get bought my child new clothes and shoes. It really has annoyed me and can fully sympathize with you too.

Make sure that the account is still being charged at the full rate - he hasn't notified them he has chenged his job, he has deliberately given it up to avoid paying (assuming here), so they should still be charging the account as though he was still working: deprivation of income.

Thanks kelloggs, I will contact the csa tomorrow and make sure that they are still charging his account at full rate and find out what enforcement they can take against him if any. Definately a purposeful deprivation of income.

If he is signing on, that will automatically stop the deprivation of income assessment being charged to the working parent.

I knew an itenerant drug dealer (now deceased) who just stopped paying tax and signed on. He would always sing a melody to the CSA when the phoned him - Work Doesn't Pay - Under the See Es Ayyy.

Having see the world through the eyes of a low-income household, I hate to think how may other working parents sign-on or simply stop paying tax the moment the CSA take a chunk of their minimum wage.

you have my full sympathy,and anyone else in this situation, and i say that as a NRP,who has been shafted by CSA since being on a DEO in Nov 2006, i could easily have gave up work, but i have better standards than that, NRP who do this sort of thing knowingly should be jailed

yeah right. you know better than anyone that that wont stick.

if he has informed them of the change to his circs, then the csa are LEGALLY bound to assess him at his current level of income.

and unless he's been stooopid enough to put it in writing that he jacked work to avoid paying then a deprivation claim would fall flat on it's !!!!, as you well know.

to be honest, with your knowledge i'm shocked that you put that twaddle.
