My reply to the CSA
You may have seen my video animation for the phone call I made to the Child Support Agency last week. If not, watch it now. They eventually sent me the information that went missing some time ago, and I have replied to them. However, as the CSA are know (and have admitted) to losing information rather than rely on them getting the letter I have just sent and processing it correctly I will communicate it here now.
After all they read this blog, evidently, and this also serves as proof that I have replied to them… again.

CW98 1ZRThank you for finally sending the documents to my correct address. I can see from your notes that you either did not receive my last reply, have lost my last reply or simply have ignored my last reply.
I will recap the important aspects for you now.
- I do not travel down to Wales for work reasons. I travel down to Wales on a 400 mile round trip to see my children. I do not do Freelance work which requires me to be in Wales. Mrs Jamieson has lied in saying these are the reasons for me making the journey. Why do you take things I say and treat them as suspect but take her advice as fact?
- I have not seen my children since June as Hayley has refused to let me see them. She had refused me probably because she thinks she’ll get more money from me in child support if I’m not paying for petrol to go and see them. I am still willing to, and want to see my children.
- I resent being ordered to pay money for children I am refused access to by their mother purely because she wants more money. Maybe you could request she makes the children available for me to see as I will continue to make myself available to see them on weekends. This means I will continue to incur the travel costs and will continue to attempt to see my children. I have messages from Mrs Jamieson saying that I will not see them however.I am not an absent father as you seem to make out. I am someone who dearly wants to be a part of his children’s lives but is being completely cut out for the financial selfishness of their mother.
- The £190 loan repayment is for my BMW Z3 and her Honda Civic. I am paying the bank loan for both of our cars. If you refuse to deduct this, or at least part of this money, from the amount of money I am supposed to pay then can I have the car from her that I am paying for? I could sell it and pay off half the current debt.
- I didn’t enter the mortgage details into the variations report because Steve Gibson stated in March that I should be able to claim for expenses as a result of my working in Manchester. You have refused to let me do this, so I must instead claim for the mortgage payment. The house is jointly owned and I have been paying the £650 per month on my own since we split in July 2006. As I am paying her half of the mortgage, £325, I cannot also pay her extra money on top of that.
I did ask her if she would allow me to rent the property some months ago (which I have recorded as a phone call) so I could pay the mortgage and give her the money you wanted me to. She refused. As a result of her unreasonable behaviour I have still been paying the mortgage on our house solely.My solicitor can confirm with you if you wish that upon the sale of the property to me Mrs Jamieson will receive £14,100. I WILL NOT forward any documents to you as you have demonstrated so effectively this last 11 months that you cannot be trusted with any documents. You might lose them, dispose of them or even post them to someone else.
Mrs Jamieson changed the locks on the property recently so I couldn’t even enter it. It stands empty and has done for some considerable time, with me paying for it. I recently ceased the mortgage payments when you threatened to take money from my employer, but before I complete the purchase I will of course have to make those payments in arrears.
- I’m not going to fill out the variations document again as you have everything in my last document, sent to you in March. I will add the mortgage costs so you can take those into consideration.Once the sale of the property has gone through to me I can start paying Mrs Jamieson the 25% of my income that you requested in January 07. I hope this will go through in the next few weeks.Please understand that I am not in arrears due to payments already made for her share of the mortgage.
I look forward to hearing from you once again. My address is at the top of this letter; take care when writing it down.
Regards

i have experience of this agency myself - did you actually read the variation information? i think you may be in for a suprise when it comes to mortgage payments - if they take them into account, they don’t come off your assesment, a small percentage of your income is allowed instead - travel costs are a pittance, and is instead of the 2shared care2 allowance of 1 7th per night - a variation is more trouble than it is worth - anyway, not to worry though, if you have been paying towards the upkeep of your own child, this will be adjusted off your arrears, and you have been paying haven’t you?
I did read the variations document, yeah. There is a section in there for mortgage payments from which both parents benefit. That’s what I filled in. It’s for a house that neither of us lives in you see?
you want them to take payments for a house neither of you live into, and can both profit from into consideration?
I might not agree with much the CSA do - but why the hell should you get that? it’s not like paying that mortgage is even helping to put a roof over your kids head - sell it, then you will be able to afford to look after your kid.
and what has maintanance got to do with access to your children? if you can’t see them, they should starve?
I am pretty sure looking at the track record of the CSA they are well used to dealing with angry people.
Sell the house? That’s an idea. Wish I’d thought of that. No wait, I did, but my ex-wife refused.
She refused to let me sell it and refused to let me rent it. She just wanted me to pay her half of it, forever, until such a time as she could take her 60%.
Incidentally my children aren’t starving my friend. They’ve had the £6,500 my ex wife defrauded Direct Line insurance out of, the several thousand my ex-wife cleared from their savings accounts, the money she’s made by taking and selling my property from the house AND the benefit Cwmbran single mother’s get given to them.
There’s no starvation going on here buddy. Incidentally, it’s kids, plural. I have three children. At least I think I do, it was a while since I last did a head count.
Do you know what it’s like not seeing your children for 6 months? Having an ex-wife intent on bankrupting you? Having the CSA trying to take money you don’t have?
Perhaps you could come up with some suggestions for how I could pay a mortgage on a house I cannot rent or sell? The same as I have been paying a loan the last year on a car that I couldn’t use or sell, again because of the same vindictive woman who’d defrauded the Insurance company.
I’m all ears pal.
first, I am definatly not your freind or pal - I don’t know you.
second - your asking for free advise on your finances - try legal aid.
how do your 3 children feel about all this - no, I really don’t want to know.
why don’t you ask the CSA to take you to court, get a compulsory purchase on the property no one wants, then take the maintanance out of that?
my only other suggestion - and don’t forget this is free advice - if you are all ears, join the circus.
how did you manage to have 3 children with someone you hate so much?
My friend I didn’t ask for free advice, if I did I’d ask it from someone who could at least spell ‘advice’. You offered your worthless opinion for the world to read and I thank you for that.
I slept with a girl 6 times when she “fel”…pregnant….she didnt know the child was mine,…as she was knob jockeying around the estate…but king sperm here drew the short straw..i had to accept fatherhood..he was mine…i spent a total of £7509…on making here flee bitten house liveable for my first child…i worked 7 days a week …when i had put the last curtain up…plugged the new tv in..(please note i couldnt live there due to benifit fraud…..6 years later,,,,i have paid £20000 c.s.a……………..she has a new boyfriend,..changed my sons name…told my son i had DIED…AND HAD ME ARRESTED ,…I CAN NO LONGER SEE HIM AND I PAY £70 A WEEK…C.S.A….IF YOU ARE READING THIS..>>>YOU MIGHT SAY ITS WHAT THE LAW STATES,,..BUT MY GOD THIS IS WRONG….IN THE EYES OF TRUTH MAY YOU ALL ROT IN HELL….
let’s put this into perspective, every child has a right to see thier mother & father regardless of the financial situation, if parents cannot come to an agreement then get it into court ASAP.
I have been through the same crappy process of CSA messing me about, ex wife refuses access etc but trust me when I say go through the courts, get a contact order in place and send it to the CSA. Hope it all turns out well for you Mr Daz as I know how you feel not seeing your kids, it’s crap.
I have Just had a letter off the CSA And its my
first week where my they are taking money from me and its £300 a week this including my £10,000 arrears.
This was from a relationship 15yrs ago where i was 17 and she was 24, and yes i got stictched up and it was consieved when i broke up but stupid me on havieing a drink went back now and again, although
Im certain iwasnt the only one going there. I was 17 and daft.
But now im 33 and soon to be a dad with with my girlfriend and recently moved into a house.
But the payments they are taking out of my wages
are gonna cripple me and i think i m ight lose the house, great start to an unborn child.
I really dont know what to do.
Im currently in the process of having the DNA test done
and if i am the dad, then i will pay.
Anyone have any idea how long it is to get the DNA test done?
I know i’ve been at fault and had bad advice when i was younger, but this is a hard pill to swallow.
ps. i have no contact with the mother or the child in 15 yrs.
