CSA force me to quit my job
Sadly it’s finally come down to my having to resign from my job as a direct result of the CSA. It’s not something I wanted to do, but as they’re taking 40% of my salary, refuse to speak to me over the phone and haven’t sent my employer an updated payment schedule in almost 2 years, I can’t continue.
The last message I received from the idiots stated how they had sent a payment schedule to Just Search in July 2008, however they hadn’t sent one. I didn’t receive one and Just Search didn’t receive one.
The CSA lied.
I then heard that my DEO (deduction of earnings order) can’t be changed by my employer until the CSA send them an updated payment schedule, which they’re not planning on doing until July this year. This is despite my having already overpaid according to my records, and my employer’s records. Now, as the CSA lied about sending one in 2008, am I to trust they’ll send one in 2009?
Not likely. Even if they do actually send a new payment schedule this July, with the correct reduced payments, I would then have to APPEAL to get my money back!!!
Again, this isn’t going to happen.
As the CSA refuse to provide my employer with the correct payment schedule, haven’t done so for nearly 2 years and refuse to speak to me I’m left with no option but to quit. I can’t afford to work anymore.
I’m not the first to have to do this and I won’t be the last. I really don’t understand how the CSA can legally demand money direct from your employer based on a calculation that they refuse to update, and claim they did in 2008, when they blatantly didn’t. They have lied to me, they have lied to Just Search and they have been stealing money from me. No one can do anything about them, they are not governed by any policing body and they’re answerable to no one.
It’s a shame, but that’s the child support agency for you. Of course the real losers in all of this are my children, as they won’t receive any money from now on. The CSA have made sure of that. That is of course assuming they’ve received any of it in the first place?
Here is the letter I sent to the CSA informing them of this. Perhaps someone has a comment on this?
Birkenhead child support agency
Great Western House

CH41 6DAREF: Resignation from employment
National Insurance Number: **********Dear Sirs
I write to notify you that due to your failure to act accordingly, and your failure to supply my employer, Just Search, with a payment schedule since July 2007 (almost TWO years ago) I have had no option but to resign from my job.
May 7th 2009 will be the last day of my employment as it just isn’t financially viable for me to continue working when the CSA are taking 40% of my salary and refuse to update my payment schedule to account for my overpayment.
Congratulations to you sirs, you have forced another hard working father who just wants to earn a living, pay his way and see his kids, to quit his job. I do hope the government rewards you accordingly for adding to the country’s unemployment figures.
I will be unemployed until further notice, but won’t be going out of my way to find a job. Nor will I be claiming benefit, as I don’t believe in sponging off other people who do work.
I complete a self assessment tax return for my affiliate earnings, but made a loss last year due to increased costs and reduced revenues. I might break even this year, so there is still nothing you can claim from me as I will not be earning.
This will be my last letter to you as I do not wish to correspond with you via letter in future. Any future correspondence must be made via phone call. You have my number, but here it is again just in case: ***** *** ***.
Regards

thats some shit news mate , CSA are a bunch of wankers all the gov are here for is to dip into our pockets sorry to hear it mate
Sorry to hear that the CSA have managed to deal the final straw, I can understand that being caught within their riduculous system which is full of abuse, victimisation, maladministration and errors simply becomes too much.
I can’t see that your letter will lead to any action within the CSA walls. It appears all we can do is increase public awareness, which this website does well, and overwhelm them with complaints so the statistics reach the political agenda of MPs.
Watch out they don’t try to get you for purposeful deprivation of income.
man these csa twats are leaving with 342 a forthnight, my rent is 600 a month and i am left with less than 25 a week to live on. what kind of country do we live in where i am force to quit my job in a time where the gov are so worried about the incresing levels of unemployment. i love my job and dont want to leave but i will be better off by at least 40 a week. fuck this country and the money hungry pricks that run it.
The csa took me to court last week for arrears of which they made themselves by not accepting money from me they have given me a signed agreement to pay the debt off and have been doing so for the last year never missed a payment ! so the csa spoke to me before i went in to the court room and said i would have a liabilty put against me whether i went in the court room or not ! so i went in and told them the real facts and guess what no liabilty was put on me so i would like to say to anyone out there they are a bunch of liars so stand up and fight your case in court !
good for you

Never mind Daz.
The CSA can’t stop you loving your kids, they content themselves with indiscriminately ruining good people instead.
I’m very tempted to move abroad myself so I can earn a good living without interference from the CSA and hopefully build for her future that way, except my daughter and I would be heartbroken under those circumstances. What do you do with a corrupt ‘company’ that has free reign to discriminate and extort money from good people with the governments blessing so they can hit their targets?
It’s disgusting but it doesn’t surprise me when so many of our brave young men are coming home in body bags from Afghanistan without the government batting an eyelid.
Did you see the Labour Party Conference? A sychophantic display without any substance whatsoever to my mind.
You’re not alone… and that goes for all Dads reading this.
Don’t let the Bastards grind you down.

P.S. If you wish, you can contact me by e-mail. We should group together you know.
Interesting article that I was looking for, I’m now in this position. I’ve been telling the CSA since September that £500 a month is too much as I travel a long distance to get to work and back (it was that or wait to be made redundant in my previous job).
They’ve been telling me I can spread the arrears payments over two years instead of one. And telling me, and telling me. Still £500 a month comes out. The exhaust has fallen off my van, the tax is up and now my bank has foreclosed my account for defaulting on my bank loan.
I can’t afford to work anymore.
[...] them twice to tell them he was leaving his job. He also sent them a letter telling the same thing, which you can read here, his employer set them two letters and even sent the CSA a form they requested – but STILL [...]

They took my job too, with an estimated liability based on averaging my first 3 months income a year. This showed an income of £3000 a year more than I got. Failed to get them to look at it again for 8 years now. Liability order pending. So sick of their bullying, lying, cheating, misdirections, unclear manipulations have set up http://www.classactionhero.co.uk . Please join class action suit – CSA /CMEC are clearly undermining basic human rights and the Secretary of State is ultimately responsible.
