It seems there are far too many of us who are being forced to give up work because of these money hungry sharks! It has too stop, life should go on after splitting up from some dumb arse ex wife/girlfriend but unfortunately it doesn’t. They contact the money sharks who only care about getting as much as they can out of you, this government wants this country to work then it needs to look whats going on with the csa! Protest and I’m in! Why can’t these bloody afghans and Iraqis blow the csa up, I’d even help them!

Looks like i will be joining the unemployment list too.
CSA are going to start taking 40% of my wages.
Theres no talking to them, they dont care if you cant afford to pay your bills.
Ive contacted my local MP who has written to them but im not holding much hope.
My next step before quiting my job will be the CAB to see if they can help in anyway.
I love my job but i just cant afford to live on £20 a week.
So you end up jobless, homeless and maybe dead.

I Myself also has had his problem. I was earning min wage doing 30hours due to redundancy from my previous job which when I worked there I paid 50 a week cash to my sons mum but she clearly went in a huff when I was made redundant and therefore contacted csa. They say I have to pay 47a week and also I have 1200 arrears as I have no proof of giving her money. Not only does she earn nearly double her house is local authority so its cheap. And yes you guesses it I’m private let but not Through choice its because I don’t have a dependant so can find my own house. All this despite he spends 3sleeps a week with me every week.

i to am in this situation , i only work 31 hours a week at a supermarket and get paid every 4 weeks, the money i get just about covers rent and other bills, i have paid to my children for years and now my ex has got the csa involved because she wants to make my life hell , i have had her hanging the csa over my head for years so she would get her own way ,the goverment need to look at both families incomes and assess it that way , because my ex has more per month coming into her household than i do , i dont mind paying for my children its just the amounts that the csa come up with are unrealistic and leave many families in hardship .they are making it so its not worth me going to work .

If you go onto their website and make a claim, any claim for any person but near the end it will ask if this person is working or on social security/Job seekers. If you say they are out of work or whatever it is then they don’t want to know simply because they wont be able to get anything out of these people meaning it’s a lot easier to target the working than the non working….. what a joke!

im going throught the same thing now paying nearly £3000 a year for my two kids. its not the money that i refuse to pay its not seeing my kids. i have no idea of where they live, i have been told my ex has changed the maiden names to hers and CSA expect me to fork out £400 a month which is outragous. I have another child on the way with my new partner, and i am determined to let CSA know this and that i cannot afford to pay that amount. if needs be ill sit outside citizens advice to see what can be done.

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.

[...] 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 [...]
