After 19 years the CMS seem to think i owe £4358.83 from 13th July 2000 to 30th August 2001 when i called them they are not interested in any evidence what so ever,sorry as it's 19 years its to late......i never heard nothing from them at the time because they were sending letters to the wrong address where i was not living anymore.....there is no way i owe this because i still have my tax return and i only earn £3,000 that year...i still have my old passport so i was out of the country living with family in the USA from 8th May 2001,so you pay nothing from this date anyway,if your out of the country........so will the Judge listen to me,looking at the order it's like i have no rights....
wow that is nuts. if you rang them to explain and their not interested, then looks like the only way to clear yourself is to seek legal advice and go to court.
Yes i am of to court Monday,but when you look at the back of the order..can i argue the order its reads like you have no rights at all.....when you talk to the CMS on the phone its like talking to a high pressure salesman,fast talking there always right and your wrong

I had already been to court in 2006 ,because the CSA admitted they were send letters to the wrong address , they waved the amount i owe...from when i came back from the USA 2005 to 2006 from that date onward i payed my child maintenance on time even until my daughter was 21..yes they did not even tell me i should of stop paying when she was her 19th birthday....
Did you inform them that you had changed addresses, did you tell them when you went abroad? If not, they will argue that the rules state that you have to inform them of any changes.
I personally think that it’s better to communicate with them in writing, rather than br phone, the number of guys that get told different things each time they call and can’t prove what has been said because there no record of it.. at least if there’s an exchange of letters or emails, you have a record of what is discussed and what advice is given.
Best of luck in court on Monday.
