  • im glad you pay, if only all would not avoid it.

    if its only a word, then why have you made such a big deal out of it, maybe you should take your own advice, and spoke to me rather than judge my wording?


    you have mentioned csa not following up on my complaint? THATS EXACTLY WHY I HAVE WRITTEN THIS THREAD, :) for help!

    p.s oh and for the record, i never once said or implied, "how can i get him" i think the selfish idiot should help!

    If it was old rules then it's possible it was a NIL assessment due to high mortgage costs.

    Far as i know.....NO cases have been auto-migrated to CSA2 so somewhere along the line you must have closed the CSA1 case & then opened a CSA2 case.

    If that's so....^^ it might've helped if you'd said so :o


    when it was old rules, he never had a morgage or another child,
    i never closed the old rules case, they said it had to be converted? never knew why, but thanks

    £800 gross or net? per week or month?
    It's not a critisism, I could forge a payslip and flaunt it in front of my child's mother.
    Anways £800 per week would equate to £120 in CS contributions, he is not really going to miss that as he is left with a great amount of disposable income that many would envy.


    not a wage slip i saw, when he actually did have to pay me £66 a week, his income was on the csa breakdown

    same old,same old You will have to learn to ignore some comments on here.
    You are a PWC ( parent with contact) and there for automatically hated by some (no all) NRP (non-residing parent), who assume you be a envious layabout, after every penny you can get, to spend on fags and booze.

    What you earn is not relevant when working out CSA, so please do not feel obliged to answer posters who ask you this.

    Some posters on here forget that most PWC are trying to get money to help bring up a child. And that watching the NRP drive round in a new car and holiday abroad, while paying nothing towards the upbringing of that child annoying.


    hey, thanks very much for your kind reply,
  • Hi same old, same old,

    You're obviously now aware that your ex has had a positive change in his circumstances, through what your daughter knows.

    Unfortunately, CSA cannot re-assess your assessment based on just hearsay. It is possible your ex is in education and his partner is employed but again, the real truth could be anything.

    So, in order to get the assessment increased your need to gather real credible evidence as to your ex and his partner's circumstances, such as:

    • Address of employer(s)
    • Type of employment / position
    • Vehicles owned / driven
    • Address of college if in education
    • Home address
    • Value / Sale price when purchased
    • Name of owner(s) / purchaser(s)
    Your ex is not going give this information voluntarily so it may mean a few polite phone calls to confirm he works at x or studies at y.

    Property ownership details are available via Land Registry and sale prices for houses can be found on property websites as they list sales history for a street with dates and prices. Proof of residency is available on the Electoral Roll.

    If possible, try to gather information from people who know / knew both of you but be very very careful as once your ex knows you're gathering information, he may "shut up shop" so to speak

    It may take time and effort but you can do it without having to confront your ex directly.

    Good Luck. Some men who walk out on their child / children will think nothing of not telling the truth to the CSA, DWP, HMRC, etc


    hey, thanks very much, great info on where to go next, will indeed take your advice :j

    The 1st part of your post reads"my ex didnt pay for my daughter for years,"
    Anyways now that that is sorted.
    I have already (along with others ) offered a reason why the CSA are not following up the difference you feel you should get against what you should get.
    Most non resident parents would gladly contribute a (what they deem ) fair amount, for those earning a higher amount the % scheme works in the NRP's favour.
    You have done wise not to ignore certain posters (eg me) I have not mentioned you were a DSS scrounger full of tattoos and piercings , like an earlier poster is trying to imply .
    Once you complaints path is exhausted with the CSA you can have ICE look into your case, but as mentioned there is no garauntee that the current assesment is incorrect.

    The most common reason for a case converting from old rules to new rules is when an NRP with an existing old rules case then has a new case opened against him. The new case goes on CS2 automatically, and this causes the old case to be migrated.

    Which could be the reason why the assesment figure has reduced.

    aha, i know this doesnt have to be justified, but i can assure im not just trying to gain an easy life, i work very hard and f/t, but i will say, i have also been at the other end, on benefits trying to bring children up on my own, because the absent father wouldnt help me, sometimes we all need that bit of help in life, on how a parent acts is down to themselves. but all advice has been taken, thank you
