How would i go about having my payments assessed? At the moment my ex pays £51 a week but i'm sure he's earning more then he did 14 years a go.:beer:

I am assuming you use the CSA if so then personally i would just phone them up and ask them to do a review as you haven't had one for some time now.

Hi, i get £23.00 a week for 3 children for the last 7 years, csa was not interested in recalculating costs, as ex was originally paying rent to his landlady who he has married recently, so as she owns house outright surely there is no rent to pay.

Did you approach your MP ?

Kimberly ring csa again, if they try to fob you off, ask for the managers name and address and make a written complaint. keep track of times and dates and send the letter recorded delivery, i find thats the only way of getting anythink done with the csa.

I dont know what area you are in..

Six months waiting list? I have never heard such rubbish. the more you ring them, the more they will deal with you, so you have to keep on at them. You are right in assuming that he has no rent to pay Billysmum - have you updated the CSA with all the relevant info so that they can do another assessment?

Prudent

I asked for a review last April and it was not completed until November, and only then because I complained at very frequent intervals. The increase was back dated until April and my ex now has arrears to pay. It is my understanding you can say there has been a change in his circumstances and get the amount reviewed at any time.

It shouldn't matter who he lives with etc. it has to do with how much he earns. You may just have to keep pestering the CSA. Can't you just talk to him about it?

Hi, sorry but isn't that a contradiction of terms? They would have to wait 6 months if they DON'T hound them - We are on the other side of the 'fence' , paying for my OH daughter, and it took them 6 months to decide how much our new payment figure would be after my daughter was born, which then in turn caused 6 months of arrears because they took so long to sort it out - we pay on time every week via standing order (except for last week's as they have 'lost' that one!?!?!).

I have been chasing them since November for a breakdown of payments as we cannot agree on a correct figure of arrears. Sorry, but you go round in circles with them.
