i made several voluntary payments to my ex partners on the advice of the csa while both cases were being delt with back in 2009-2010.i kept signed receipts by all parties and dates of any monies that were exchanged.i ve recently been told by the csa that these monies will not be taken into consideration as both exes have denied i made such payments.my two exes have become good friends and are not admitting anything, even though i have shown them these receipts and have now been billed again by a deduction of earnings order for the exact period ive just described.the csa wont tell me anything only i have to pay.i am at a loss at what to do and have been to citizens advice and wrote a letter to csa with photocopies of the receipts which they ve dismisssed.the next csa payment is in feb 2014 and includes an altered ammount for the payments i ve already made.can anyone help.i ve been back to citizens advice and they have suggested taking my exes to a small claims court to recoup my payments.
Blimey, that's awful they can do that, if you've got signed receipts
Only thing I can think it to write to your MP
I agree with Huxley about your MP.
The problem I'd foresee about claiming through the small claims is that your exes would simply lie about the receipts and your chance of success would be pretty small. Of course you could simply sue the one of them that you paid the most (telling the other one that it's not worth taking her to court) - that might divide them again. Then once that's done, you could sue the other.
