Please Help Child Support Agency Problem (CSA) Quite Long Sorry

methekidsandthecat

I am with you there TabbyKatt....

Have just called CSA as I have not heard about review of payments, still the same since 2002. Reveiw requested at the start of May, he has still not responded to the letter requesting information.

So now will there be moved to act more proactively - yes????

No - they will write to him again............ He will not respond again.......Then they may contact the Inland Revenue to see what he earns, why cant they do this now.

Like your ex, mine rarely sees the children, having promised D to let her stay over half term he told her on the day before she was due to go that he had not got the time off work. She was devasted. Good old Mum has to pick up the pieces and try to comfort D when all I want to do is shout and scream at ex.

11 YEARS of misery with the CSA, because my ex said he could work the system being S/E and he has done a brilliant job of it! They have lost my file many times, lost letters/not received – brought a fax machine and get their email address now! I even had to copy letters they sent to me as they didn’t have copies! Been to MP, ICE (about 5 full reports – found the csa at fault but they now useless and seem to do nothing), Lord Hunt, Complaints, Parliamentary Ombudsman, Chief Executive – doesn’t bother to reply to letters, Tribunals, Appeals, Bailiffs, Courts, (he even gave them fake payslips) even found a solicitor to sue them - whilst Legal Aid going through (as working p/t) got in touch with Watchdog, they called the CSA and just by magic, got a phone call offering a BIG advance payment, they admitted it was because of that! But I’m still owed money and still trying to get it, Criminal Compliance Unit found evidence of 5 bank accounts, how much he really earns and his savings and mortgage (tax man not interested that he has lied about his earnings) LAST JULY - not sent to appeals/nothing done, so I appealed for maintenance assessment to be reassessed, got struck out - out of time, I went to Regional Chairman appealing under exceptional circumstances, finally got the tribunal and the CSA turned up with only one bank account information for one year only, I was made to look a fool and called a liar and it was disallowed. So I’m back to complaining, making the appeals people sort out yet another mess they have caused while he enjoys his money, life and lies by laughing at me - by . . . WORKING THE SYSTEM - just like he said. I will keep on with it, trying to go to the Media again as seems to be the only thing that works, if we all did, then they would do another story about it. And the CSA ask me for information about my ex, so when I find it and give it to them, he tells the Police I’m harassing him and they come round to see me, I have to explain to them what its about – so he even harasses me via the Police!

So the CSA quite clearly work for the Self Employed!

I agree - if you are self employed you can lie as much as you like and get away with it.

Take half their take home pay, that'll sort them out hahahaha. My kids get more than half of mine.
O and my time and wisdom...................and love.

I know this is an old post but this is true of my income also - even taking into account child benefits etc - over half of my actual take home income is spent on the kids not taking into account electricity, gas, petrol and other indirect costs. Luckily I have a partner who supports us as well.

They aren't efficient enough to keep pace with those who lie and cheat the system and unless you are in benefits then there doesn't appear the will either unless you keep harassing them.

Good luck though
