I don't believe that is true...unless things have changed, why would a NRP not be able to open a case?

which reads "
Who can apply for maintenance through the CSA?

A parent or person with care or a non-resident parent can ask us to work out child maintenance and set up a payment arrangement."

Thank you for providing the ink, that is indeed correct.

The CSA no longer back date as far as I am aware they go from the date of application, what I am usure of is why you think it is okay to pay your child's mother a mere £20 per week to bring up a child!!!!
What is even more ridiculous is that you are worried about having only £880 per month to rent a flat, try paying school meals, uniform, clothes, shoes, and anything else your child needs alongside paying gas electric, fuel, travel, water, council tax, rent/ mortgage etc etc to cover the basic needs of your child then divide this by 2 sure it would cost more than the £30 per week their mother is asking which is generous considering you should be paying more than that!!!!!
And you are afraid most of it is not being spent on the child!!!!!!!!! why are they squatting????

And the PWC also helped bring them into the world. So are you saying that that if they didnt have kids the "person" wouldnt be paying the same amount for electric, gas, water. Council tax is on the House Band, not who lives in the house, as is rent. I am a PWC and find your slating a tad ridiculous. Yes I agree a NRP should contribute, however, chucking housing costs into it should not even count, maybe the child should go live with the NRP if they are worried about the gas bill. FGS !!

read on.

if the PWC refuses to accept then case is closed.

that's always been the way and as far as i know, that wont change under c-mess either.

if it ever comes in that is......

in simple terms.

the NRP can ASK the csa to calculate what they would pay and REQUEST that the PWC accepts it, but the only person who can officially open OR close a case is the PWC.

i defy anyone to prove otherwise.

wrong.

please get facts straight before advising others. ONLY a PWC can open a case with the csa.

Oh dear.

You've been made to look rather silly, haven't you?

not at all. read post above yours.

trouble with this place is too many armchair experts. perhaps some on here could apply for a job at the csa. especially as "not having a clue" is an essential requirement for them......

You're wrong again (there's a surprise!).

If the NRP opens a case, the CSA will contact the PWC to ask if she accepts the payments. If she doesn't then the CSA leave the case open until the NRP decides to close it. They won't collect any payments from the NRP, but the case is still open OFFICIALLY until the person who opens the case decides to close it. The PWC can force the closure of an NRP App by requesting a case herself, in this situation her application will supercede the NRP application, but failing that the only person who can withdraw a case is the person who opened it.

Funny that you should be so quick to bandy about the phrase "armchair expert" when you seem to be the perfect example of that yourself.

Under the new future scheme, the PWC will no longer be able to force closure of an NRP App by superceding it with her own application.

Yet again, not that he will acknowledge it...

!!!!!!.

what is wrong with you??? an NRP CANNOT, i repeat CANNOT open a csa case.

they can REQUEST a calculation and the csa can OFFER it to the PWC. that is all. they can also help to arrange a private agreement between party's. but again, neither of these is an "official case". ie, arrears cannot build up, they cannot attach a DEO, LO, bailiffs, etc, etc, etc, etc.

if they're not collecting anything, it's only an "open case" in a literal sense. it is not active and doesn't fall under the remit of an "active case"

i am not aware of any change under c-mess, but as far as i know, the basics are the same. if anyone has a linky, then please post.

i'm through trying to educate pork. if the OP wants some "factual" advice, i would google "afairercsa"

basically, you're splitting hairs.

your idea of a "case" is not theirs.... or anyone else's for that matter. requesting a calculation or facilitating a private agreement is exactly that.
