CSA Rant
Hi ladies,
Need to get this off my chest as it gets me soooo mad. Sorry bit long.
A few years ago when my husband was 19 he was with a girl who was 16 and she got pregnant, neither of them were ready for a child and the girl told my husband she was going to have an abortion my husband moved out of the area with his family later to find out the girl hadnt had an abortion husband was not very happy, he tried to bond with the little boy who is now 11 but he couldnt and doesnt see him at all. Then last year the CSA contacted him (first time since the boy was born) saying he had to pay so much a week maintenance plus areas!!
He started paying ??500 a month and informed the CSA that his wife (I) was expecting a baby they told him to send in my babys birth certificate so that they could lower the payments which he did and the payments went up with no explanation why!!
One day when he was on the phone to them trying to sort this out they asked him to confirm how much rent and council tax he was paying, what they had on the system was wrong this was for his old house with his ex wife and it was less then what he was paying at the time so he informed them that he was paying more and they put his payments up again. So he is now paying ??780 a month, I dont understand how if we can be paying more rent and council tax they can up the payment. They have also said to him that he is paying arrears but because the arrears wont be paid off in 2 years after that period they are going to be sending the bayliffs to us. Even though he pays every month and has never missed a payment.
Im really pissed off because all my wages are paid out on bills and we live off husbands and my little one is missing out on little things all because of the CSA.
Im so angry i really dont understand them, I dont think they have even taken into account about our little one.
Sorry a bit long but I feel a little bit better now.

they should take into consideration 15% of his wages for you little one. and as far as i know the claim starts the day the csa are contacted and not for the whole of the childs life i think your oh should appeal their decision. but they money should go down if you have a child and if you are paying more rent and council tax.
I had replied before but BE has eaten my post again!!

the thing is his ex doesnt work and she lives of benifits and she would only get approx ??10-??15 a week apparantly he is paying so much because of arrears because they couldnt be botherd to deal with his case.
It makes me so angry as well.
