On January 13th I wrote a complaints letter to the CSA outlining the scandalous and illegal way they have mishandled my case. I didn’t expect anything from them, and naturally my low expectations were proven just. I’ve received a reply today that has dismissed all of the facts, ignored the basic evidence that they’ve been incompetent and negligent and thus declared the case closed.

They’ve also demanded that I remove anything about them, naming them, phone calls etc from the websites: ‘U tube’ and mrsdaz.com…

What the fuck?

Is it any wonder these idiots make so many mistakes.

Well, they might consider it closed, Judi Cass might consider it closed, but Mr Daz considers it very much open.

I will be drafting a scathing reply this week and will of course post it here, together with anything and everything I deem to be worth mentioning. I will not be silenced by these idiots because I am right.

All good things come to those who wait, and these idiots will be exposed.

Regular poster on MrDaz.com Poppy mentioned in this post about the CSA complaints website Name & Shame the CSA.

This looks like an excellent resource and features template letters and advice on dealing with the CSA. It also includes an interesting quote from Adolf Hitler which sounds like it could be in reference to the CSA.

“As long as government are perceived as acting in the best interests of children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty.”

I’ll be using this site extensively in the coming weeks, and blogging about here.

The Manchester Evening News reported on Tuesday how a woman left her baby in her car for a few hours while she got pissed up in a bar. What’s worse is that the car had the keys in the ignition with the engine running. You wouldn’t leave a dog in that condition, let alone a small child.

What’s even worse is the woman worked for the Child Support Agency. You know, the corrupt incompetent bunch of retards who excel at being useless.

The woman’s name was Gemma Train and she was 23. Even worse was she was let off with a suspended sentence. She should have been locked up for at least a year and had her child taken from her. What a scum bag.

This led me to search on the MEN website for other CSA related stories, and I came across a great many. You can read them all here.

The most harrowing was this one where a father killed himself after the CSA left him with just £10 to live on. He was forced to pay whatever the CSA calculated he owed for his 3 children leaving him with a tenner for the week. Not enough to pay the bus fair to work, let alone the food, bills and mortgage. Leigh Eglon is dead now, so the CSA can’t get any more money from him. Notice though from their response that they don’t actually care that they’ve driven someone to suicide:

A spokesman said: “We cannot comment on individual cases. The Child Support Agency has a responsibility to ensure both parents support their children financially.”

I wonder if I should go to the Manchester Evening News? You know, I think I will.

Here’s my complaint letter for the CSA. I don’t imagine it will do any good, but what the hell, it’s good content for the website if nothing else.

CSA Complaints
Child Support Agency Birkenhead
Post Handling Section
2 Weston Road
Crewe
CW98 1ZR

Dear Sir,

I write this letter more in hope than in expectation but it is with some regret that I must complain about the actions, or rather inactions of the child support agency.

I don’t actually expect any coherent response, but I felt I should go through what passes for the ‘proper channels’ before escalating the situation to the public domain in a viral capacity.

I first telephoned the CSA and spoke to Shelly d’Coeur on January 9th 2007. I raised my concerns over the amount you had calculated that I should pay, with regards to the extra money I was already paying out because of my ex-wife. She assured me that my caseworker, Steve Gibson, would telephone me the next day.

He did not. Despite numerous efforts by myself to contact Steve Gibson throughout January and February he never answered his phone or returned any of my messages. Eventually, in March, Steve actually telephoned.

This was the one and only time I spoke to Steve Gibson.

Steve advised me that I should fill in a variations form and claim for travel expenses to see my children and for my rent in Manchester as it was work related. My house in Wales, which was jointly owned by my ex-wife and myself was still having its mortgage paid by myself. It was vacant at the time, and is still vacant today.

I filled in the form and returned it to Steve Gibson. I received a reply about the form, and then some weeks later in June I received a letter from Steve Gibson requesting my variations form, as he hadn’t received it. He had not only received it, but he had replied. This has been commented about on my website here: http://www.mrdaz.com/csa-given-more-power/

In fact you can read everything that has happened to date on the website here: http://www.mrdaz.com/category/csa/ – it chronicles the whole escapade, but doesn’t have all of the phone conversations yet…

The comments made on the reply stated that according to my ex-wife I returned home to work rather than to see my children, which wasn’t true, and that I couldn’t claim for rent on the flat where I work.

I have since learned from Nicky Tyler that the rules governing claiming for rental accommodation were changed in 2003, so when Steve Gibson advised me to claim for this rather than for my mortgage payments on our jointly owned property he was lying to me. Either that or he was incompetent in his job. Whichever the reason for his deceit, Nicky Tyler now advises me that as I have now only returned a completed variations form in November 2007 I cannot claim for any mortgage payments prior to November.

This again flies in the face of the lies Steve Gibson told me back in March. He said any payments made by me would be taken into consideration and would be backdated from my variations form.

In addition to this, my communication with the CSA has been hindered because of your refusal to speak to me over the phone. You have refused to do this because I record ALL of my phone calls. It is because I do this that you should be advised that I can prove everything I have said. Every phone conversation I have had with the CSA has been recorded. All of the broken promises, factual inaccuracies and lies you have told me have been recorded.

I imagine at this point that you’re feverishly routing around in your nostrils for that ‘hard-to-find’ bogie and wondering whether you can just toss this letter in the bin and make out that it never arrived. You can’t. It too has been posted on the website.

The last cock up from you was in October when you sent my correspondence to the wrong address, despite having the correct address on the system. I telephoned you to find out what was going on as you were supposed to be communicating with me via post but hadn’t contacted me. The compulsory deduction of earnings order you sent to my place of work was for too much, so I was forced to telephone you. I spoke to a chap named Ryan who admitted the most awful of incompetence on your part.

This phone call was the last straw and forced me to animate a video for it and upload it to YouTube. It has now received over 1,000 views: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=g6vqCGhJBK4

As you have lied to me about what I can claim for and have ignored the fact that I have been paying a mortgage on a jointly owned property from the date of your claim through to and including July you are over charging me for child maintenance.

You were 2 months late in replying to me through Steve Gibson’s incompetence when I originally telephoned you on January 9th, and then Steve Gibson lied to me about what I could claim for.

The CSA are wholly responsible for the mistake. Had you returned my call and advised me correctly when I first contacted you this would have been dealt with in January 2007, rather than still be ongoing in January 2008.

I demand a written apology from you and for you to correctly alter my deduction of earnings order to take into consideration the mortgage payments I have made on our jointly owned property.

I had requested from my ex-wife that I rent out the vacant property to cover the mortgage so I could pay her what my children required, but she refused. She instead insisted that I continue paying for the vacant property. It was for this reason that I was forced to cease the mortgage payments, for which there is a repossession hearing scheduled for January 21st.

Please take note of my address when replying to this, it’s the one at the top of the page.

Yours very nearly bankrupt due to the CSA’s unrivalled incompetence,

I just had a call from Nicky Taylor from the CSA, and what she told me was staggering. It seems that my last variations report that they received in November, where I listed the mortgage payments I’d made on the property that is jointly owned my myself and my ex, cannot be taken into consideration because they can only consider payments AFTER the variations report is sent in.

This is something of an issue for me, as I originally contacted them about this in JANUARY 2007 and spoke to Shelly Dacoure, she assured me that case worker Steve Gibson would phone me back. It took him TWO MONTHS to contact me. He phoned me in March 2007, after I’d chased him for several weeks.

Steve then advised me that I could claim for my rented accommodation in Manchester as a work expense, and for the travel back to Wales to see my children.

Nicky has just told me however that I cannot claim for rented accommodation. This rule was changed by law in 2003, so Steve lied to me when I said I could claim for it in March 2007. Nice one Steve you lying twat.

This variations report was of course refused, and some months and lost letters later, I filed a second variations report for the mortgage payments, which has now been refused because as I’ve just mentioned the CSA won’t take into consideration anything before the variations report was filed.

Now, the issue is:

1. I contacted them in January 2007, it was there fault that they didn’t get back to me, even after I chased them several times.
2. When they did get back to me they lied about what I should do.
3. After they lied they took weeks and months to respond and even sent documents to the wrong address.

This is disgusting. It’s the CSA’s fault that my variations form wasn’t filled in correctly and given to them in January 2007. Through their incompetence, lies and delays they’ve cost me thousands of pounds. I’ve been paying for two cars and two properties through no fault of my own, and still have had to pay them their money on top of that.

They’ve screwed me over, pure and simple.

The best of it is Nicky is sending me a stamped addressed letter for me to complain in writing, which has to go to their mail handling depot in Crewe. Like that’s going to come back with any results.

The CSA are a thieving bunch of lying incompetent cunts.

I’ve just had a reply from the CSA, it was very short. Just the one paragraph in fact. They said that Mrs Jamieson had disputed that I’d made any mortgage payments between the dates of January – August so they’ve refused my claim.

Hmm, I wonder why they take what she says as fact and then take what I say as a lie? I wonder too who they think was making the mortgage payments on the house. Was it:

1. Aliens
2. The Tooth Fairy
3. Father Christmas
4. Mrs Jamieson… or, more likely…
5. Me

It’s not like it’s difficult to prove that I’ve made the payments either. I have mortgage statements and bank statements. It’s in black and white.

What bothers me, as well as why they believe what she said without any proof, is that she was so stupid as to say this in the first place. She has lied to the CSA (much the same as she lied to Direct Line when she defrauded them over my car) yet her lies will only have one result, her house will be repossessed.

They’re continuing to deduct money from my pay that I don’t owe them, causing me to have to forgo any more mortgage payments, causing our jointly owned house to be repossessed on January 21st.

Surely she understands this? Just what is wrong with the woman?

Naturally I’ll be in touch with the CSA after Christmas and will one day get the full apology they owe me. They’ll come to understand that Mrs Jamieson has lied to them. They’ll also come to understand what it means to take on someone like me.

If you think the CSA Fonejacker video was bad, just wait to see what I have planned 😉
