Can any one help? My child is now 20, I stopped paying maitaince on her 18th birthday as she was out of education and in full time employment. 10 years ago the CSA wrote to me sayng if I paid them £880 pounds they would quash all arrears and I was to oay my ex partner direct, which I did.
I received month or so ago a letter stating my child is now longer eligible for maitainace and case closed.Then this week 3 letters claiming that theyhave decided I know need to pay this debt of £19000 and will put a deduction of earnings on me for£500 a month the following month!!
Apart from this amount will break me,Can theydo this after 10 years plus taking a settlement of £880?
Any Help would be usefull.
I have no contact with my daughter and she changed he name 5 years ago.
I have had no assessment or means test just a letter stating they will take this amount by AOE , All of the letters have not got my N.I. number on . I have not been informed of any court action to this case! Can this be a stab in the dark to try and collect money from myself.?
I have payed a settlement fee over 10 years ago, so dosnt a statue of limitations stand after this spent period?
I would contact your MP asap about this and ask them to raise a complaint. Also, if you don't have the letter any more, ask for a copy of all correspondence and gather as much proof as possible about the maintenance you have paid to your ex. Unfortunately, they CSA have a habit of disregarding payments made directly, but if the letter says you can do that, I would think that would help you to argue this.
Hi There,
.
I think as already said you would need a copy of the letter that stated if you paid the £880 they would take that as full payment, I think without confirmation things could be difficult to prove, I would as said speak with your local MP for some advice as they may be able too assist in getting a copy of that letter if you are not able too.
