CSA not taking money out of my bank??

skje12

No everything is true but was really glad when the maintenance dropped when she went to csa cos we couldnt afford the £100 week at that time.

When she went to the csa, i was pregnant with twins so didnt have any children when we were paying £100 week and didnt have a high rent to pay either.

So no i couldnt have saved up what i was originally paying to pay off arrears because i needed it for babies.

She went to csa thinking she could get more money but that didnt happen. She is money mad and wont let us see the children without having money.

Forgot to say that while we wasn't paying child maintenance, it was around the time the children went bk to school and we bought them new shoes and coats for them both, isn't that better than nothing??

Love is much stronger than money but this woman puts money first every time. Them children will never go without, the same as my own

And again another reason, for her to legally change the name, your OH would have to agree...

SEEK LEGAL ADVICE...!!!

She knows that my OH has to agree and this really gets to her but shes changing their names a little ways e.g. they are one surname in school but another surname out of school :mad:

If she had her own way, my OH would not be in their lives because she has a partner

So if his income was so low, how did the agreement of £100 a week came about?

I agree, something doesn't sound right. £15 a week is very low for two children and I can't see how even before having to support two more children, he would have managed to pay £400 a month earning so little or even why he would have agreed to do so when he only needed to pay 15% of that amount.

Could it be that he suddenly reduced his working hours.....

No its because i was contributing to the child maintenance to be paid so he could maintain contact with his children cos i said before he can only see his children when maintenance is paid!!

£100 a week came about because the PWC suggested it cos we didnt have a clue.

Of course that's better than nothing, although it doesn't count as child maintenance (unless I am mistaken, anyone??)

I understand that you/your OH couldn't continue to pay £100 per week while the CSA were working it out, but could you not have paid something? Existing children still cost money, new twins or not. And it's really not hard to go to the online CSA calculator and get a ballpark figure.

I guess I should count myself lucky that my NRP still paid while the CSA were making a calculation because it took them 15 months.

what do PWC use child maintenance for then??

if im not mistaken, i thought it was used to buy things for a child and to support the child??

well if urs took 15 months, it just goes to show how crap the csa system really is.

do u stop ur ex seeing ur child/children when no maintenance is paid??

do u have any additional children aswell as the ones with ur x?

I'm not sure i understand the point you're trying to make in your first two sentences.

No, there have been periods when maintenance has not been paid and I have never stopped the NRP seeing the children. When he was on benefits and couldn't afford anything I used to drive them to him accompanied with bags of food shopping so that they could all eat.

I do have an additional child: a younger sibling whose father is my new husband. Not sure of the relevance of this or why you asked.

@skje12

the csa will mess up no end...
= send them letters... dont speak on the phone... if you must use the phone, record the calls... (they wont like it if you record the calls and will end the call if you inform them... even if they are not informed, a call recording can be used in a court of law as evidence!)
= send every letter recorded delivery.
= keep every bank statement.
= keep everything that could possibly relate to the CSA case.
(pay slips, P60, letters, ETC ETC)

Write a letter asking whats happened to payments.
Ask for an account breakdown. Ask them what the effective date was on the case - use assessments to work out what the actual payments should be, and have been...

you need to sort it out ASAP.

as others state - contact doesnt mean anything to the maintenance (with the exception of the 1/7th reductions)
