Unfortunately, somebody within the CSA couldn’t read and typed the wrong address into their system. I heard nothing until a bailiff popped a demand through my door 12 months later asking for over £4,000. I had been taken to court without my knowledge and found liable for that amount.
Twelve months further on, I am still fighting what is their mistake, not mine. I have eventually cleared the amount owing to the bailiffs but now face arrears for the 12 months during which this dispute has taken place. One step forward, feels like 20 or more backward! Yet again the Child Support Agency make a mistake but somebody else has to pay for it.
When will the Government finally put the useless thing out of its misery? Probably never, they couldn’t afford the redundancy package for all the staff no doubt! Hopefully the CSA complaints team will look into this. I finally spoke to someone in the Agency who was helpful and explained the correct steps to take.
I wait with baited breath for the outcome, although deep down I'm so sceptical about the whole thing that I probably get stung for even more cash than I am already lumbered with. Here's hoping.
