Csa mistake help needed

Ringo123

Hi
Dont know if i am doing this right not very good with this stuff but here goes.
I have allways paid csa and i beleave that there should be something in place but i am now having a very big problem with the old csa. I have never had any arears up until last year when i started getting letters saying i owed £1500 in arears. When i questioned this they could not tell me were it had come from they said they would look into it again. Weeks later i get anouther letter stating they had got it wrong again and now i owed an extra £4500. Again i asked were this had come from and they have said that they are still shutting down the old sytem and going through old files and said in 2012 i sould of paid slghtly more than they were takeing from me. They said its there fault but i have to pay the £4500. How and is this legal ?
My point been if i charged somebody for a job in 2012 how could i then go bk nearly 7 years later and say i made a mistake back then i want anouther x amount of £££££ ??
Any help would be very appreaciated i just dont get how this can be legal or what to do also i have read if somebody has a debt older than 6 years it cannot be recoverd.
Thanks for any help in advance.

That does not apply to CSA cases. They are chasing some debts from the 1990s

But they are making it up i asked for proof and they sent me a statment showing they added £1500 debt in 1day onto my account showing no breakdowns. When i contested this they said tbey made a mistake again and it was now £4500 but have not supplied any proof or breakdowns on this sum at all. I have never not paid or missed payments. I also have paperwork stating in 2015 there was no arears when i started paying direct to her but they are saying its a mistake they made in 2012 and there is now a debt. And i have had a letter saying they are sorry and would like to give me £50 off ??????.
