Shoe diva do you mind me asking how old the youngest child in your case is? I am wondering whether in our case we will have our case closed or whether they will let the case run to it's natural end if the child is nearing the age where the CSA payments stop.

She will be 17 in October so I was surprised they are closing it to move across. CM is due to end in 2 years exactly today

My case is in phase 5, currently with the Bailiff Liason team waiting on a date for the bailiffs to visit the NRP.

I've already told CSA that once they reach my case, to go ahead and switch it to CMS. I'm not willing to enter any discussions with the NRP. One of the many reasons the case is with CSA anyway is that I tried when we first separated to sort an arrangement out between ourselves but any mention of it to him led to me being pushed around, threatened and pinned against walls. I'm not willing to put myself or my daughter at risk again.

In the last year alone, CSA have agreed and he has failed on 8 different payment arrangements and they have secured 2 Liability Orders. We are not far off there being enough new arrears for a third Liability Order.

The CSA can't switch you to CMS when the time comes. You will have to apply directly, and you have to have a conversation with CM Options first, as they give you a reference number that you need in order to make an application.

I am very unhappy with the new CMS. My CSA case is closing on the 9th Sept 2015 and I've only just learnt about it by letter the CSA sent to me this week. I wasn't aware of this as I had been ill up after having a major op in January.

My daughter is now 17 y/o and is doing A levels so after receiving this letter, I telephoned to make my application for the Direct Pay and the whole thing took 67 minutes with the person I spoke to called, David sighing and breathing heavily down the phone who was no help whatsoever and was annoyed that I have no contact/address for my ex, that was information the CSA held and this information wasn't being shared with the new CMS. I don't understand how that can be ?
In 2006-2008 my ex took me to court because he wanted permanent custody of our daughter who was 9y/o at the time. He disappeared when she was 9 months old. During that court case, he kept lying about his address but when our child's guardian got involved, she went to visit him and his current wife so he couldn't hide anymore.
My ex had been violent quite a few times during our marriage and I was injured so I sought legal proceedings against him, he then disappeared for many years not paying child support at all despite the CSA and solicitors searching for him.

My problem is that the direct pay requires me to get in touch with him, much to the dismay of this David from the CMS and provide my bank details then this is sent to him. In 2006, my ex made an application for a bank card in my name, we previously had a joint account but as I couldn't find him, the bank phoned me to alert me to this, they asked if I had made such an application and was I moving. I hadn't and wasn't about to move. My name had previously been taken off this account and I believed the account was dormant. I did make the bank aware of this court case against me. Needless to say I do not want my ex to have my bank account details at all !
Regarding the CSA, my ex has not previously complied with anything from the CSA and he has only paid child support for our daughter for a year and now that will stop on the 9th Sept 2015.
This David from the CMS was quite abrupt on the phone with me and I haven't had anything else from the CMS so now feel in limbo. I am not hopeful that I will see any money from my ex at all!

I'm group 3 from the 91 scheme and got my letter this weekend. I'd like to try and make the family arrangement but had no contact with the parent with care since birth of the child 17 years ago as my ex did not want me around. I tried to take her to court following birth, as I wanted to have contact with my child but she was difficult and didn't show up on the agreed hearing dates. I got to a point where I could no longer cover the legal fees and decided to move on with my life. I now live at the other end of the country and have a new family of two children. I've always paid my csa payments and my account is fully up to date. I was reassessed under the 93 scheme about 3 years ago. I've looked at what will happen to my payments if I go to the new scheme and they will treble, this will ruin me financially. Does anybody have any experience of dealing with the new CMS when you have absolutely no means of contact with the parent with care?

All you can do is use the CMS to make an assessment. Have you tried to find the PWC?

I cant understand how it would ruin you - CMS for one child is 12% of Gross pay - so £12 for every £100 leaving you £88 for every £100.
