Oh… and while I’m at it …

My ex then went on to marry “the out of work boyfriend” but failed to notify the CSA of this fact. During a conversation a number of months later I informed them of this and was told she could do whatever she wanted … Hell they’re telling me she can.

I was then informed how they calculated how much I “owe”. After the third time of the person refusing to tell me at a pace I could understand or write down I asked the simple question … “so you don’t take any of my outgoings into account when you do this calculation?”

The answer = No

Ah now that’s interesting … I said.

The answer = Legislation

I could go on but to keep it brief my next 6 or 7 questions all met with the answer …. “Legislation”. I considered that to be the moment I had hit the brick wall.

Chris I have to agree with Mr Daz, just prey these people never come after you.

I am now going through the sickening process of the dreaded CSA. I was “paying what I owed” after my partner lied and cheated on me and walked away with the kids, the house and all it’s contents. Not only did she leave me neck deep in debt – I was the one who had to start again. I was paying her voluntary until she moved her out of work boyfriend in and like a vulture she demanded more money than we’d agreed.

It seems in this country .. the great UK, a man does not even have a statutory right to see his children. Here’s another great concept by the CSA – they reduce the payment amount by 1/7th for every overnight visit. I wonder which genius thought this up? My ex saw this as the perfect way to increase her intake whilst reducing my visitation rights to see my child.

I never thought things could be this bad and I can forsee that we now have the involvement of this CSA … it’s going to get a lot worse!

I could be wrong, but from the comments sense slight hostility towards Chris which I feel is unfare. My views-
1. The moral reponsibilities of parents and the welfare of the children should be paramount considerations in this particular government initiative.
2. The CSA don’t give a damn about a parent’s moral responsibilities as their practices have reduced the role of the father to a ‘cashpoint’ and takes no account of the emotional needs of the child(ren) involved.
3. My guess would be that the fathers mostly affected by the CSA are hardly the types of fathers that the system was (supposedly) set up to target.
Good luck Chris

The reason they don’t ring you back is simple….. they generate between 40 and 60% profit from every call you make….how you ask…. well that’s simple also…they use 0845 phone numbers, do a search on google for 0845 numbers and all will be revealed.

Thanks for the ill thought out and uninformed comment Chris. However if you bothered to read further updates on the CSA on this blog you’d realise the level that they’ve stooped to.

They’ve lied, posted stuff to the wrong address and conned me. Illegality is illegality, whether you’re a government run agency or not.

Incidentally I always pay what I ‘owe’… the question is what do I owe?

Shut up, and pay what you owe, instead of whinging on all the while.
I don’t like paying council tax – I think it is basically unfair, but I don’t start whinging at their staff, and making out that all the world is against me lie you do.
For once in your pathetic life be a man, pay for the upkeep of your kids, and don’t expect the long-suffering tax-payer to do it for you

Listen to it, it’s pretty obvious who my anger is aimed at. Even someone from the CSA could work it out.

so – is itthe ‘csa’ as a government agency you are angry at, the MP’s who come up with the legislation, the government who paid out of the tax payers coffers for a computer system that doesn’t work as well as it should do – or are you angry at the staff who work for the agency, who probably get paid a pittance, and do the governments dirty work for them, or is it the thousands of absent parents who think they shouldn’t have to support their own children, or is it the greedy parents who want every penny you have so they can drink it all away, or are you one of the good guys who could just come to an amicable agreement with his ex and pay his maintanace without having to go through the csa in the first place? who is your pod cast really aimed at hurting?

I am known to the CSA, they’ve had a company wide email about me, but as for them standing around laughing at my phone calls… I think my most recent podcast will dispel that theory.

As for what I’m going to do this weekend with a video file and YouTube, well, let’s just say the CSA don’t realise what they’ve started.
