I need help with all of this.
My wife has just received a letter asking for information for nearly 2 years ago. CSA want wage slips and to know how she was living.
The father to my step daughter has stopped all contact and changed address without telling us and has also stopped any calls coming from our telephone number.
We know she had a job and finished school in 2012 and is now working, but like I have said we are not allowed contact. We have also received a letter stating if we make any further contact he will pursue if through legal action.
HELP
How do you know your step-daughter was working in 2012 (and how old is she?)
I would be inclined to speak to the CSA to find out exactly what the situation is - if your partner's ex was claiming child benefit, then child maintenance will have been due, but only from the date that the CSA case was opened.
I think we'd need more information to be able to give further advice on this.
They have no right to ask how she was living, that's irrelevant
They asked a friend of mine, he said his girlfriend supports him
How long have the CSA been involved? Have you paid anything at all? And do you know why they are asking for 2 years worth?
Contact is a separate issue, the CSA don't get involved with contact and still have to set up a payment schedule if asked, whether the child is seen or not
My step daughter has posted it all on Facebook.
The payments started in 2008. My wife has lost and gained employment twice withing that time, but we have always kept them updated.
Why are they asking now, I have no idea as again my step daughter is working.
Please see further info below. and thank you for the help.
I would give them a ring and ask exactly why they are asking for information from 2 years ago, they normally ask for 3 months payslips
Hello,
They are asking for 2 wages slip from nearly 2 years ago and it's the job my wife was made unemployed from.
Ask them why they need them
I would tell them you don't have them - there is no requirement to keep them, only the P60 is normally worth keeping. CSA should be able to request the records from HMRC.
Thank you. Much stress and worry over this. To add insult to injury. My wife called CSA and tried to update with the information and they asked her the security question and failed to pass. What makes it a joke; they have different information down. Shows the last person we spoke to in the last set of office have not updated the records. Is that normal?
That doesn't suprise me with them
So what happens now? If they won't speak to you on the phone
We have written to them and sent the info from the social media site and also informed them we are sending copies to I think child benefit. As they should know when she started working.
