I am getting hounded by the CSA for roughly £2000, my only daughter is 21 and now a mother of her own child, I split with her mother when she was 10 years old and agreed to share our daughter, at first it was 1 week with me then 1 week with her mother, we live only 5 minutes from each other so this was fine for us, But it started to take its toll on our daughter and we agreed that she could started doing 1 month at a time at each house, after about a year she moved In permanently to my house and lived with me until she was 18, my ex claimed CSA from day 1 as she was in Full receipt of child support from the government . I did at one point receive a letter from the CSA stating that i did not owe any money as we shared responsibility (letter now unfortunately lost), I never asked for any help or support raising my daughter on my own as a single dad. I have never paid any money to the CSA as I raised my child on my own and could see no reason why I should pay, I was not allowed to make a claim as I was not the parent receiving child support. Now I am not working due to Covid 19 and the CSA are back on my case and will stop £18 a week from my benefits. This is unbelievable and after having many conversations with the CSA explaining all this they are still relentless in the pursuit of this claim. Can anyone tell me how I finally put a stop to this madness . Thank you
If you contact your local MP or CAB, they will be able to help you deal with the CMS.
Best of luck
