When I got a letter from the CSA (Cnuts)

I've got a co-worker whose husband is an IT contractor
currently claiming that he earns £300 a year - as a contractor his "company" earns the money and as its sole shareholder he then pays himself the dividends. From when they were married she knows he's making at least £45K a year.

Despite having this explained to them the CSA is making *her* pay child support to *him* for the weekends when he has them, over and above their losing documents, issuing demands that are in violation of their own rules etc.

Well, if he's paying dividends, they must be declared and are a matter of public record. The CSA could very easily find this out - doing so would cost them a quid at most.

I appreciate that the above is probably somewhat beyond your usual modus operandi, and fair play for attempting to take part - but given your depressing lack of knowledge and empathy, you should probably stick to your comfort-zone of calling people 'wankers'. Leave the thinking to others.

Fuck the lot of you
I have absolutely no problem paying for my kids. what I object to is the total imbalance imposed upon me by the CSA. I have no option but to pay whatever they decide I should pay. and there is no right of appeal. they take no account of the £80,000 the bitch stole from me, and absolutely no account of the fact she stops me seeing my children when ever she wants. we split up 11 years ago, and still she threatens me with "if you don't do what I tell you you wont see the kids."

The real problem posed by the CSA is the imbalance it created. in the past if guy didn't pay he didn't see his kids. if she stopped him seeing the kids he could refuse to pay. and both parties had the same recourse. Court. now guy has to pay no matter what. don't pay and they can go to your company and just take your money, and charge you for the privaledge. if she stops you seeing the kids the only thing you can do is go to court. I spent over £12,000 trying to force her to be reasonable. Money down the drain. the courts have no teeth, if she doesn't comply with the court order all I can do is go back to court and ask the court to tell her to. If she doesn't I can go back to court... Etc etc etc. I know people who have done this for years. Ultimately I ran out of money. I'm in debt up to my eyeballs, allbecause of her. And you are paying her legal fees and her housing. why shouldn't she go back to court every time? You can afford it

My partner is being fucked over by the CSA too
The CSA are a bunch of low lifes, they claim to be operating in the interest of the child, but when they will allow one very bitter and nasty parent to have full control over the life of the other parent, they show how morally corrupt they really are.

We are denied access, have no money to take it to court and are told that this is simply because the child no longer wishes to have anything to do with us. I am watching my partners heart being broken and there is nothing I can do. All the CSA say is that her payments must go up.

Where is that justice for the child? The system is flawed and revolting.
( Rev. Jayneflakes Buy my book, I need the cash for drugs and hookers, Thu 21 Oct 2010, 19:06, closed)

What about the cases where the CSA works absolutely perfectly for both parties involved?
I'm amazed you think the department is "morally corrupt". A department that is designed to ensure the children of broken homes in this country are well-fed and housed, and in the most part succeeds. Fuck me, it almost sounds like you'd rather the CSA didn't exist and all single parents generally struggled like fuck and lived entirely off the state, or fought over money AS WELL AS access to the kids involved.

I have paid thousands out to my ex over the years. Now I'm a single father with absolutely no contribution from the mother (because I don't ask for one), I earn less than minimum wage but I work my hours and and we get by, mostly because I'm an adult and I can handle my shit. People who whinge about this get right on my tits because it's always the other person's fault, it's always the other party who's a bitch or the system that's broken. Take some responsibility, man the fuck up and get on with it. If it's destroying your life, go to Citizen's Advice, your solicitor, mediation, litigation or counselling, whatever it takes to come to terms with where your life is now.

Now...
I DO pay for my kids, over and above what the CSA (cnuts) would have me pay. I see my kids very frequently - it would kill me just to be a weekend dad. They need for nothing.
However, a friend of mine, who also loves his kids to bits, and also paid well over the odds, way and above what the CSA would have him pay has a psycho ex-misses - she's constantly using the kids as a weapon against him, constantly planning the weekends he has with his kids for him (and his girlfriend), and now, finally, as he wouldn't do exactly as she told him (some 8 years after their break up), the CSA have been called in by her. I heard the recorded messages from her and the violent, screaming, abusive texts.
....Now the CSA are involved, the fuckups start. Lost documents, huge demands for cash from him despite his having receipts for the payments made in the past. Lies about his earnings (from her), and the CSA believing her, despite (now lost) payslips being presented to them. The amount they expect him to pay would leave a negative amount, meaning if he were to pay it, he wouldn't be able to get to work, pay for a roof over his head etc... The CSA's answer to this, when he explained? Get a loan.
They have now instructed her to not let him see the kids until he pays up!!??? How the f*** has ANYONE got the right to say that?
No, I thought the CSA stories were a pile of crap before I witnessed this.
You, OP, have my sympathy....unless you are a workshy cnut who simply won't take responsibility, in which case, you don't.

I gave them the ex's full name, address and NI insurance number and the name and address of his employer, the local Education Authority. As he was a teacher (and with all that information) he should have been easy to contact.

A few weeks later, I had a phone call telling me that as they'd been unable to track him down they were closing the case.

For the record
I was paying for my kids, when the CSA got involved they wanted about 1/3rd what I had been paying. I continued to pay more. Until the ex stopped me seeing the kids out of revnge for the simple fact that I had left her. as for the comment above that I shouldn't have dragged her through the courts and should hav behaved like an adult, mate, get a life. I did have kids with someone that I intended to spend the rest of my life with. but circumstances changed. to cut a long story short, and when cash and possessions became all she thought about, I eventually decided enough was enough.

"Of course, you could try not being an utterly shit human being in the future. I mean, you can't change the fact that you have been a prick up until this point, but you can decide to stop being a prick now and face up to the mess you've made of your life, your children's lives and their mother's life." why do you assume I am a shit human being? all I have ever tried to do was what's best for my kids, and that included the decission to leave, I felt, and still do feel, that that was best for them. I have never refused to pay what I have been asked, I usually offer towards Christmas presents and school uniforms. I chip in with cash whenever it is appropriate. so why do you think I'm a shit human being? as for me making amess of my children's lives, all I wanted was to be involved in their lives, and the only way I could do that was to go to court to get access!

Most people here seem to assume that I am worthless because my marriage failed, thanks for that.

The cruel fact is that the old system worked better. Single mothers were not abandoned to fend for themselves, they received benfits, just as they do now. the huge difference was that there was a balance. if the guy didn't pay, she could with hold access. If she with held access he could with hold paymnet. the huge problem with the CSA (Cunts) is that they removed this balance. I admit it was not perfect but it worked better than the current system. Now if parent with care with holds access the only option is court. I know of one case where a guy took his ex to court 47 times. all the court can do is ask her to be reasonable. if she nods her head and goes away from court she can just carry on as before. there is too much power in one parties hands.

the other problem is that the CSA (Cunts) are beyond beleif at how inefficient they are. for a simple example last year my assesment was that I had to pay £450 a month on the 22nd. I explained that I get paid on the 25th, so could they do the collection on the 27th (to allow for weekends etc). no problem they said. in that case it will be £425 a month. dispite all my arguemnts and letters they could /would not accept that they were wrong. so I paid £425. I also Paid other monies direct, in excess of the Addditonal £25. about six months ago the CSA (cunts) phoned me and told me I had been paying the wrong amount and I now had to pay them an additional £200 immediately. If I refused or was unable to pay immediately they would approach my employer and take the money out of my next salary
and charge me for the privaledge. As an aside to that story after I had agreed for them to take the payment on the 27th they continued to try to take it on the 22nd. because I didn't have the money, because it was just before payday, and they had told me they would do it on the 27th, I got hit hit by bank charges for returned payments and the ex didn't get her money. when I asked the CSA why they were taking payment on 22nd not 27th they said "well we can take it up to 5 days before. so we did" they fuck up and take too little money, ooh, I get pay the difference. they fuck up and charge me too much? tough shit you should have checked the calculation.

I do pay, always have paid and will continue to pay. even while being denied access. and more than the CSA (cunts) say I should. and before the CSA (cunts) were involved I was paying. in fact I was paying around £1,000 a month for them. was never a bone of contention. the former Mrs strokes thought she could get more on top of that so went to the CSA (cunts). who said I should be paying around £250. which I pay, plus I pay towards other stuff as well.

From the CSA website...
"In the 12 months to June 2010 we received 23,600 complaints. This is a reduction of 12.5% on the previous year, when we received just below 27,000 complaints."

23'600 complaints. Are you going to assume that they're all in error - that the CSA is a bastion of benevolence and efficiency which can do no wrong? Or is there any chance that a fair number of grievances with the CSA - quite possibly including the OP's, who has stated quite clearly that he's happy to pay his share - might well be justified?

Not that it matters, of course, given that you're only really here to be a dick. Why worry about little things like factual accuracy?

Some will, some won't. As with most large institutions, they don't pay a great deal to the rank and file, and accordingly, do not attract the best and brightest. You'll mainly be dealing with the remedial subsection of lower-tier jobseekers. You'll get the odd nice one - the law of averages demands as much - but in the main, you'll be met with incompetence, bureaucracy, and disinterest.

Aside from which - you shouldn't have had to put up with this bunch of workshy failures making fun of your problems. If you're doing the best you can for your kids, despite the difficult circumstances - good luck to you.

Thanks
Also, to be fair they have been put in an horrendous position, working for a government department that every one hates with an inefficient system. they have to talk to hundreds of people each day who are probably at the lowest point in their lives. and deal with people who are being stopped from seeing their kids. so any of them that half a brain leave, you'd have to be some sort of sadist to enjoy that job.

Mrs vinegar strokes here, been reading this barrage of shite, just to make things clear, this is a man that provides for his kids, quite happily, went to court for the simple reason the ex wouldn't let him see them despite trying to be amicable. Some dads walk away. I was beaten by my ex, ended up walking away, with the kids, lived in a hostel before finding somewhere to rent. My ex has paid £20 in 18 months towars upkeep for the kids. Plus his visits are intemittent.
Relationships flounder, and fizzle out, doesn't make you a bad person, makes you human. If you are an adult, you make things as smooth as you can.

Vinegar strokes went to court as a last resort-either that, or his ex wouldn't let him see kids as he dared to leave. As for money, he has no worries about paying support. He takes them on holiday once a year, takes them all out each fornight, cinema, meal, etc, anything they need, he buys. Csa, have taken money when they shouldn't. Taken different amounts from what they've said, miscalculated, left him with bank charges, etc.

Believe me, I know bad dads, this is not a bad dad. This is just someone who is pointing out the failures of this government agency. I'm stumped if i can see where he has said he doesn't want to support his kids?

You do realise you're trying to justify yourself and your fella to a board full of trolls, don't you?

I do
But I thought some of the users here were better than just attacking everyone for everything. Some people ought to go back to 4Chan.

why are YOU worried about factual accuracy when you know that he doesn't give two shits and is only here to wind you lot up?

I think we can close b3ta now - this interesting, pithy, perfectly-punctuated retort has rendered all further postings pointless.
