Csa old rules to new rules

halucin8

Hi my hubby left me back in 1998 with 3 small children and pregnant with twins, for a young girl. I ended up on IS for a year or 2 til i got back on my feet so i had do the child support thing. Anyway over the years i never had anything even though i heard he was holidaying in cuba miami florida the CSA said his wage slips were just below the amount where he would have to pay child support. the company he worked for messed the CSA around wouldnt comply with DEO's, would tell the CSA he no longer worked there when they rang etc..

in 2009 i ended up in court with him for our divorce ( please dont ask why it took me so long to divorce him ) as he didn't want me to have any of the pension the judge said we had to do full disclosure. so i received all his bank statements loan agreements etc. and he got mine. top and bottom of it is he was a company director and even though his wage slip said one amount the rest was being paid in cash to his bank .. i contacted the CSA and they said all i could do was to apply for a departure which i did.. a few months later i was awarded a departure they worked out he was paying almost £3k a month in DD and never went once went overdrawn, plus he had an unsecured loan of £100k. So the departure was allowed in sept 09 and they awarded me £480 @ month. i haven't received a penny so far and it is now with the bailiff team

Yesterday i received a letter from the CSA saying my case was now being moved to new rules and they had got wage slips from him stating he earned £211 @ week and 25% of this was used for child support and would be split ways ( 2 of my children are now grown and left home ) so 3 of my children and 2 he had with his girlfriend ( who he traded in for a younger model too ) so i rang them and asked them why they were using wage slips when it had been proven by the departure that is income is considerably higher than what he was declaring they said well he sent in 4 wage slips so we know its consistent. i explained to them again that he was a company director and had manipulated his income before and he was still listed as a company director of the same company. first the CSA rep asked me what a departure was and then told me if i didn't agree with what had been decided i would have to appeal as they don't do departures no more its a variation ..

surely they can't just disregard the depature.. can anyone help on this please i think i will go crazy if i have to go down this route again
