I reduced my CSA bill from £78 per week to £6

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.

Trying to be fair, maybe the OP is going to pay for half of all the costs of the children directly - sending in money for school lunches, buying clothes, paying for half of holidays etc etc?

I hope so, posts where people hate the CSA/ex more than they love their children make me feel very sad.

I'm even more bemused that people are thanking this guy for his post and asking how he did it!

Read Soubrette's post rather than just reading the headline, the OP did not say they were not going to assist with the children, it is not hard to see that some posters from both sides of the fence, use the csa as a personal battleground to avenge the ex.
I pay less via the csa than when they were not involved and that was when petrol was less than 70p per litre .

??? I wasn't referring to Soubrette. Just disgusted that some people would use this as a means to escape all forms of child payments!

I see, the majority of the replies are making out the OP is a bad person, when it is clear all the story has not been written, whilst I agree CS and contact are not linked, the OP may have sight of the children's existance by way of a deduction of net pay :eek:

Agreed. But the OP does little to dispel this notion by stating "after a bit of mucking about".

Am I the only one thinking this is a wind up?

EDIT: Nope, I see someone else has the same idea.

I think a lot of these 'troll' posts are a student experiment, me I'm more of a logical person with little emotion, I think the majority of posters are more emotional with less attention to between the lines.
The adding of mitigating circumstances ie the children is often included (sometimes unnecessarily) but this does not negate from the real topics.

If it is why react to it? We don't know the full story and many are reacting on what they think the whole story is.

It was more of an inquisitive observation than a reaction.

I just find it odd that an individual would giddily register on a forum to make two posts that are worded in such a way that only negative assumptions are likely to be made with regards to the attitude and motivations of the person making them, unless of course, that poster was on the wind up.

As we only have the poster's words to go by and those are words which include multiple exclamation marks, a jumping for joy smiley and a "contact me for more information" style request, it strongly suggests that if this poster is on the level, a) he/she is delighted to be saving that money without regards for the children involved and b) something about their "mucking about" is somewhat shady. The post does not appear to be an offer of assistance to people who are struggling with the CSA after all.

If, of course, none of the above is true, then it is up to the OP to come back and correct us, otherwise people only have his statements to go on.

Nobody really knows the full story to any post made on here, even the ones that are very descriptive, so it is always the responsibility of the OP to post as much information as they are willing and comfortable in divulging.
