CSA ruling?

Fill_7

Hi folks,

Just after some opinion/advice if anyone would be so kind..

in 2006 my grandfather bought a house outright for myself and my partner and daughter to live in. he charged us no rent.

in 2009 myself and my partner, (now the mother of my 2 children) seperated (my decision). i left the family home.

we agreed an amount of child maintenance for me to pay monthly (without involving the csa).

a year down the line i become self employed which she believed made me rich(!) she contacts the csa for an assessment on me. because i get assessed 4 months into my SE, the figures i have arent a true reflection. (i must add i have never tried to 'doctor' the figures to benefit me). the csa assess me at a rate lower than what i was willingly paying her prior to csa involvement.

in 2014 i have received a reassessment and the CSA now want a fair wack off me (inc arrears). this is having an impact on me, but im not one to moan and if this is what i owe then so be it.

my grief lies with my ex still living in the home my grandfather bought and my grandfather out of goodwill chooses not to charge her any rent. let me rephrase that, i have no beef about her living in the house. i just find her greedy that she is happily taking me for 100% maintenance whilst still living in a nice house rent free.

is there in any instance the cSA would take this into account with the house being in my grandads name?

thanks for taking the time to read this!

I doubt this would have any bearing whatsoever. If she was living in a private rented home (or council) then she could (depending on her work circumstances) claim up to 100% rent rebate which would have her in the same position as she is in now.
