| 505 | Duncan | McDonald | | GB | I agree whole heartedly with your comments regarding the CSA. They do not listen to the fact I now have a child and bills and debts to be. A measly reduction in my payments when my newborn arrived. I get £35 per month Child Tax Credits, my ex partner gets £200 per month. The fault of the CSA who left my case for 1 year resulting in arrears, and were not interested. Now i struggle with my new family. If a child should get 50% from 1 parent, then that would give the child £400 per month right?? |

| 509 | Anonymous | Anonymous | | GB | having only recently been drawn into the nightmare that is CSA my health and spirit have quickly suffered. I have a beautiful son who i have had regular contact and share parental responsibility for. I spend more days with him than away and have religously paid private maintanence to his mother in order to have him housed in decent accommodation.
I now have 2 further children from an ex-partner.She will not allow any access to the children, nor will she communicate.I have now been ordered to pay a sum of money which added to my normal day to day bills and existing maintanence leaves no funds for such things as food, fuel or any form of in-disposable income.In short it looks like in order to survive CSA suggest i cease making payment to my first born child and she too can seek their judgement? Am i expected to work my self to an ealry grave and do i not have any rights whatsover in respect of allowing my self to eat!! |

| 513 | Anonymous | Anonymous | | GB | I feel my child suffers because my partner has to pay more then 30% of his wages to his x partner for their son. We have no economical qualitly of life as we have no money. I am so tired of this CSA system. Further more my partner is not allowed to see his son. This scorned woman knows how to play the system and plays it very well. If you are not allowed to see your child and you have no money to fight in court then why should you pay for that child!!!??? |

Child Support Agency
An Utter Disgrace To The Decent Law Abiding Paying Fathers HUMAN RIGHTS
I do hope that you take the time to read what i have to say
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 CSA and of the Governments legislation, policies and rules of the way and manner that payments are worked out via the CSA
I don’t actually expect any coherent response, regarding this letter or as matter of fact to the point that most of you will not even take the time to read and understand the current situation of all of us fathers that do actually pay and contribute to the upbringing of our children where we are no longer able to reside with our ex spouses. And also to the point that i believe and feel to a degree that my/our basic Human Rights are being violated, something to which i feel very strongly about,
Please be patient but this is rather a lengthy portion of what has been happening over the last 8/9 Years,
Here is my story
Back in the year 2000 my marriage broke down and i left the marital home, it was all amicable at the start, until my ex wife wanted me to pay her Maintenance for our 2 daughters and also the mortgage we had, to which i said no it was either one or the other, so at first i carried on paying the Mortgage to keep the roof over my girls heads, to which i thought was the most important issue, but after a few months she wanted both again, to which i said no, so she wanted out of the house and so we agreed through mutual agreement that i would pay her £250 per month for our Children and also
• Pay for their Holidays every year ( To which she went to)
• Gave them Spending money for their holidays
• Made sure they had extra food if they were going on a self catering holiday
• Pay for their school trips
• Buy them clothes & shoes whenever needed
• Bought them brand new school uniforms every year
• Give them pocket money
• Top their Mobil phones up from the day they were old enough to have one
• Taken them away on holidays when i have been away
• Bought them a xmas hamper every year so they had good Christmases
SHE CAN’T DENY THIS BECAUSE I HAVE PHOTO’S, RECIEPTS AND BANK STATEMENTS TO BACK MOST OF THIS UP.
And we made this agreement rather than go through the CSA as i thought i was being more than fair,
I have done all this and kept my promise for the last 8/9 years,
When my eldest daughter who is now 18 left school she had an apprenticeship all lined up through a hairdressing salon in my home town, but my ex made her go to college just so that i didn’t have to lower the maintenance money, she didn’t want to go, she wanted the apprenticeship but she still forced her into college,
Then last June my daughter decided to quit college because she didn’t like it but couldn’t get an apprenticeship so decided to ditch the career she longed for and go and work in a shop,
So still being fair i kept on paying the £250 for my youngest daughter, along with leaving college she also actually moved out from her mothers, i then actually spoke to my ex stating that to be fair now that my eldest had left college and moved out i would lower the maintenance not to half, but to £175.00 per month but keep paying for the things my daughter needed, to which was the agreement,
THE CSA?????????
Then unbeknown to me as i have had no contact, letters, phone calls etc from the CSA, i opened my monthly wage slip this month and there was an ATTACHMENT OF EARNINGS FOR £390 FROM THE CSA. As you can imaging i am at this moment in time off work with Stress and a heart problem, how i suddenly felt, to have someone without notification just take £390 from you without warning.
I immediately phoned them up and asked what was going on, this was the response i got after i had been put through to the wrong office 4 times, i asked them why this had happened I was told that........
I had not answered any of their letters regarding this matter, i told them i had not received any letters,
They told me my last known address they had me down for was an old address i lived at 8 years ago, but i told them i had lived at my present address for the last 5 years, i asked them if i had not replied why did they not check the electoral Register, i was told they did and it came up with the same address???????? Funny
I asked them why they had not been in touch with either Experian or Equifax, i was told they had and it also come up with the same address, this was now sounding untrue to me now as i have been registered with Experian and pay £5.99 a month for the last 3/5 years. So by now i was beginning to lose my patience, i made the gentleman aware what they had done with the attachment of earning without notifying me was ( i believe ) illegal and against the law, i will stand corrected if this is not the case, But i must defend them for an instance as they are refunding the money back to myself and suspending her payments until it is sorted and i have filled all the relevant forms in...
BUT!!!!
My next Grievance is the way the payments are calculated, and this is where i feel that my basic human rights are being Violated, because hang on a minute, all they take into consideration is My Tax, Pension, and National Insurance Contributions that i pay, why is
• MY RENT
• MY COUNCIL TAX
• MY GAS & ELECTRIC BILLS
• MY WATER AND SEWAGE RATES
• AND MY BASIC COST OF LIVING FOR FOOD ETC,
IN MY OPPINION AND PROBABLY THE OPPINION OF THOUSANDS AND THOUSAND OF HARD WORKING GENUINE PAYING FATHERS, ABOVE ARE 5 OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR TO SURVIVE, IF YOU FALL INTO DIFFICULTY WITH THESE THEN YOU LOOSE YOUR HOME, THEN YOU CAN’T SEE YOUR KIDS OR LET THEM COME AND STOP ETC ETC .........ITS ALL WRONG AND THE RULES SHOULD BE CHANGED ......
ON THE GOVERNMENTS DIRECT.GOV WEB PAGE TO HUMAN RIGHTS THEY ACTUALLY LIST WHAT YOU/OUR HUMAN RIGHTS ARE AND IN THEM 3 OF THEM STATE
• THE RIGHT TO LIFE
• THE RIGHT NOT TO BE PUNISHED FOR SOMETHING THAT WASN’T A CRIME WHEN YOU DID IT
• AND THE RIGHT NOT TO BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN RESPECT OF THESE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
NOW TELL ME WERE NOT HAVING OUR RIGHTS TO LIFE TAKEN AWAY BECAUSE MANY CAN’T PAY THERE BILLS AND LIVE BECAUSE OF THIS COUNTRIES DIABOLICAL, PATHETIC AND UNFAIR SYSTEMS AND LAWS,
If you fall into difficulty financially all of those bullet points above, are taken into consideration, ie, when you have County Court Judgements, or even worst scenario go Bankcrupt, so why not for payments to the CSA, because if i have not enough money to pay for any of the above or if you fall into arrears or don’t pay any of them you will either lose your home, have your Gas, Electric and Water turned off do you not class any of them as your basic Human Rights because i certainly do.....
And also tell me if none of those are taken into consideration then why should your bonus be if you’re lucky enough to receive one, i actually do and have been told that they take a bonus and average it out through the year, but hang on a minute if they take one bonus at say 10% and average that out throughout the year what if the rest of your bonuses fall well below that say at like 3 or 4% as they are profit related, so that means you are paying more than you should, and if you over pay how do you know you have, and how long will it take to get it back,
I DO SINCERELY HOPE THAT ALL OF THIS EMAIL IS READ AND TAKEN ON BOARD ESPECIALLY FOR ALL THOSE FATHERS TO WHICH THE PRESSURE GOT TO MUCH AND WHO HAD TO LEAVE THEIR WELL PAID JOBS WHO HAS PAID THERE TAXES AND NATIONAL INSURANCE, TO WHICH FUNDED THE GOVERNMENTS TAXES.
AND EVEN MORE SO TO THE FATHERS WHO HAVE IN THE PAST COMMITTED SUICIED BECAUSE THE WORRY AND STRESS OF ALL OF THESE ISSUES GOT TO THEM AND WONDERED HOW THEY WERE GOING TO SURVIVE, AND THEY WILL NEVER SEE THEIR CHILDREN GROW UP, WILL NEVER WALK THEIR DAUGHTERS DOWN THE AILSE, AND WILL NEVER SEE THEIR GRANDCHILDREN
YOU TELL ME WHERE ARE THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOW!!!!! |

| 519 | Lucy | Neal | | GB | After 15 years of sharing parenting with his ex and paying weekly support to cover half of all costs involved in bringing up his daughter, my boyfriend has just had a letter from the CSA saying he owes £28k in unpaid child support and that he must pay £300 a month for the next 8 years!. We have a 3 year old child with another one on the way and taking this money from us will leave his other two children living in poverty. I THOUGHT THEY WERE CALLED THE CHILD SUPPORT AGENCY NOT THE CHILD SUFFERING AGENCY!.His ex has never made a claim through the CSA and they have a good relationship and regular payments are made. Why are the CSA putting us through this? He has worked since he was 17 and we do not claim any benefits, we would be better off both on the dole! |
| 520 | stuart | doris | | GB | csa and the government need to address this problem.i am currently paying 50 pounds a week for one child,as i live alone so have rent,bills and food to pay for with no assistance from others,im finding it impossible to live on what im left with after the csa have blatently robbed my wages. |

| 525 | barry | smith | | GB | I am all for paying a reasonable amount to support my child through the CSA but i believe that the human rights of my new child are being abused as we cannot claim for the basic Necessities such as food, heating, water etc. I am investigating this and will look to publish any findings. |

| 536 | Anonymous | Anonymous | | GB | I think its about time the mothers take responsibility for their own offspring-rather than expect the government and ex partners to give them a big share of their hard earned wages to them-its a form of abuse-both mentally and physically. Isnt it not fair for the NRP to be entitled to move go on and enjoy life if he has new partner for whatever reasons? PWC seem to always fair better, some but not all know just how to work the government and the who CSA business- what are tey doing to provide for their kids? they really should feel ashamed to be ponsing off their ex partners hard earned money!! |
| 537 | Anonymous | Anonymous | | GB | I am over a £1000 in arrears after suppling all necessary details to CSA in september 2008 it is now August 2009 and am still incurring a debt but they still havent taken any money from my wages. UM WHAT ARE THEY DOING!!!!! |
| 538 | Anonymous | Anonymous | | GB | One 3 yr old, paying each month regular nearly 25% of my weage, one baby due with my current partner on Xmas day, and I have seen my son once in the last few years since fighting my ex in the courts (Self representing!! of course as I cant afford a solicitor) - ats all one sided - CSA + TAX man + Courts + Previous living debts from previous GF/Spouse Versus one father who is not even allowed to see his baby son = A very happy ex and a very suicidal and broken father!!! Thats all I can say |
| 539 | Anonymous | Anonymous | | GB | CSA needs to be scraped most fathers dont mind paying for there children , just mind it when we are the ones who are struggling to survive , and the ex is living in luxury !! |

| 544 | alan | pilkington | | GB | remortgaged my house to pay the ex off cus she had custody of my 2 kids, she walked away with £60,000. within a a week i was recieving threatening phonecalls off heartless morans at csa saying im in thousands of pounds of debt and if i didnt pay £2,000 emmediatly they would go to court to apply for a an order to enable bailiffs to enter my property and take what they like and then i would have a cj against my name then when i go for a remortgage in 2 yrs i get the middle finger. We dont live in a democracy we live in a rotten twisted and perverted part of the world, no wonder these commited god lovers want rid of us. Money is the route to all evil and every politician. Not only do we get persecuted by ex- partners who wont let us get on with the rest of our lives but they use our beloved children to hurt us, using them as pawns and then all the csa do is stand by them listening tyo their lies and scheeming plots. We need to turn the tv off turn the pc off and get back on the streets like back in the day . take the government head on . not from our armchair but take our fight to them on their territory every day till they buckle . The dirty horrible twisted fuckers.I might sound bitter but its true. Im lucky i have 2 gorgeous little children who i live with and my oldest 2 every weekend, i love em all the same. And no i wont be voting in spring cus there all deceitful moneygrabbers. |

| 546 | Anonymous | Anonymous | | GB | I agree need to get rid of CSA. They are ruining too many peoples lives. Also people cannott afford to pay what these people are asking and end up packing in work. If the non resident parent is not working they can not support their child. They are a waste of space and tax payers money. Need to go!!!!!!!!!! |
| 547 | Anonymous | Anonymous | | GB | i have a daughter with my ex and Three children with my wife i bring home £240 per week but the CSA want me to pay £48 per week to my ex.
