NEW TO THIS SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME
in brief csa clossed my case ens last month, ex opened new case with cms, they put new schedule in place,all fine there. but csa still want another 2 payments on top of the cms payments, called csa they say have to take payment and hold while case is cleansed, anyone else had this, as cant really afford to be paying that much out in one go
many thanks all
Sorry I haven't heard of this happening before! If they won't listen you could try asking your MP for help, they must think money grows on trees.
All,the best
have already contacted mp, but their wheels move very slow, and next pay date is fast aproaching, looking like i will be paying out even more again , and again and again
Probably the most unreasonable people I have ever had to deal with. They contacted me (how they got my number I don't know) regarding my ex wife's two other children although they had left school and working, but this was for 13 years back payments. Didn't want know anything apart from me paying (saying as they can't contact my ex wife and i was still married at the time) nor the fact that I had my child and step child living with me and what they were asking off me would cripple me.
The icing on the cake was then they wanted also back payments of 2 years for the step child living with me saying as I no proof, my wife is liable and therefore I am too. ( I didnt claim anything for her ie child benefit as the real dad did) even though i had 50/50 residence for step child.
Then the daft fools said I could make a claim for my son , to which my reply was , hang on you cant get hold of my ex wife for her other 3 children so looking for me to pay so what happens now I make a claim against myself lol idiots they really are.
A tear down the line bailiffs arrived, but as the judgement was in the ex wifes name ( bailiffs didnt give a hoot either) when the police arrived and then knew my wife and I had split but as she wasnt connected to the house the police sent the bailiffs on.
TBH I still dont know were I stand with it all as of today apart from the phone calls have finally stopped pestering me for payment but even up to a couple years ago would still call me looking for my ex wife. for which they get told do your own research lol.
Not much help to you question but an insight on how these people just don't care apart from getting payments
Your CSA case should of ended when your CMS case started. They should send you a final bill, they did with me. As usual it was wrong, I disputed and have not heard anything since. The government are proposing that CSA arrears under £500 are written off.
