    Wow.

    How do your kids survive on that pittance? How proud all the family must be of you.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    Hopefully, the children have at least one parent who actually cares about providing for them.

    Otherwise god help them :(

    Your poor children. That wouldn't even pay for a weeks worth of school lunches.

    Hopefully more than £7 because £14 (rounded up) isn't even going to keep them in food :(

    The user name is really telling.Its not about beating the csa.Its about supporting your children.Do you really think £6-£7 is a fair contribution ? Im not trying to antagonise ,just think you may have got caught up in the whole anti goverment dept stance and forgot that the children you made are the real issue.

    Well done, as if on the other side of the fence someone got a contribution increased from £6.60 to £78 then that also would be cause for celebration, sounds like you are on csa1 due to your other posting

    Hi all I am new here and in lots of debt!! I was looking on the national debt helpline website and they mention a Debt Management Plan. It sounds quite good and could be just the thing I need, but I wanted to see if anyone has done this and their experiences of it.
    Thanks"
