Here we go again!

I'm Back again, My last post was 05/2011. I have made a lot of phone calls, typed a lot of letters to my MP. To give a brief outline of the case, my partners ex withheld income he was receiving as shareholder dividends. he also found pension loopholes to gain a nil assessment, in fact he has tried every trick in the book to avoid CSA payments. Back in 2004 my partner tried to get the CSA to investigate his income as she was unable to find out how he had fooled the CSA with his income and persisted with no result up until 2008. Last year i agreed to help. I managed to get all the nil assessments removed and then presented the CSA with he employment evidence together with bank statements which proved how the ex successfully and knowingly withheld income. Its been a long hard slog but Clerical complaints in Falkirk agreed that the income he had given was not his true income and issued a new assessment based on the his true income. The arrears that he owes based on this assessment is in excess of £15,000. As expected he has appealed. I'm not sure on what grounds. Has anyone been in this situation and can see what grounds he may use and whether anyone feels he may have found another administration loophole to crawl through. It feels like we are so near to justice but yet so far.

Hi everyone, has anybody got any advice for me?

Suppose you just have to see what grounds his appeal is based upon!

He cud use many reasons, ima in place, and not fma. He could be lookin at submitting additional info, housing etc etc not taken into account by Csa.

Once you start getting copies of all documents submitted by your ex then you will have a clearer position

IMA is Interim Maintenance Assessment (old rules) - I'm not sure what FMA is.

how did you come across all this information, maybe he is appealing on the grounds you got your hand on his bank statements etc

The bank account he was using was still the old joint account. My partner had her own bank account at the time and continued to use this. All his income and outgoings were on the joint statements and it is easily proved that my partner did not ever access the joint account after the divorce. As my partners name was still on the account we requested the bank statements. All his income was there over an 18 month period including the Ltd company name which he used to pay himself shares. these statements covered the time he had given the CSA false income information. All legit and above board.
