CSA, how much more can we take?

CSA is a fail - just look at the attitudes of the female posters, massive sense of entitlement and malice towards their exes. A feminists dream! Women have taken the option of bringing children into this world as much as the men, in fact it's often women who nag about having them in the first place... So why should some men pay over 100% of the costs of maintaining the child (500pounds a month in my case) and other men pay 5pounds a week, how is that fair for the children - after all we're always told it`s for the children! The men who do pay are still treated like criminals and there is no respect or appreciation from their exes for providing so much wealth, becuase after all 'it's their right' and `the law` that they get this money.

The law is there for all to use. They do not have a monopoly on the law. I agree with Gainsborough lad, they are all as bad as each other. What they do not seem to able to understand is that it is for parents to make provision for their children and not interferring politicians who are inventing run for profit companies, that are a corrupt alliance between Her majestys court services and the ministry of justice. All those paying through the CSA/CMEC are being scammed. They are obtaining money by deception by recycling tax credits in order to make profits, probbably to pay M.P.'s expenses. I know for a fact that not all of the money that I am paying is going to my child. I have no problem providing for my children, but under this corrupt system, I will not be leaving any money to them by way of inheritance or any other method. When they wonder why? they can ask the government and CSA exactly why? they financially persecuted their father!

The labour party will still be audaicous enough to go around knocking on peoples doors at election campaign time for your vote, as if nothing bad has happened with labour in charge,

People used to say to me that labour leave a mess behind when they leave office, this time they did a fantastic job of it, but lets not forget, the Conservatives came up with the CSA.

Ps. Should any corrupt thief of an M.P. or Councillor knock on my door in any election campaign, I am calling the police. Lets see how they would like to treated as a criminal, as I am being by the CSA.

I am responsible and have always paid. These thieves stitiched me up with £7000 of made up arrears. They are a run for profit company, full of corrupt staff, not an agency, making money from parents who have all ready paid in taxes. Re-cycling tax credits is money laundering. What happens between parents and children is between them...not a company! Mediation is the answer, not theft!" Shut them down asap and return all monies paid and start afresh!

I pay 40% of my wages which basically after that and 'normal' bills leaves me with nothing all so this is fair is it???

If you paid for your responsibilities in the first place you would't be in arrears. Im going throught the same process with my ex at the moment and he deserves everything he gets. Ive had to struggle by myself for the past 9 yrs. Go on CSA keep up the good work

£17 thousand to pay for your children for the rest of their childhood years, you should be ashamed of yourself, Do you have any idea how much children cost!? Support your children and do the best you can and stop bloody moaning!

This is dreadful and absolutely disgraceful, however not surprising to anyone who has been unfortunate enough to deal with the CSA. I am a victim of a non paying absent parent, my ex husband is self-employed and has no intentions of supporting his children, simply because I have always held a professional well paid job. It seems the CSA mess up most claims, I have never heard of one successful case, they are unprofessional, totally disorganized, and a waste of time...

Kevin B Leicester, I have been in the same position as you, sorry to put it like this but you will get used to it,a lot of men have been through it, I know what it is like to be taking home £800-00 a month from work, and have £800-00 a months genuine bills, and then the CSA come along and take £300-00 a month off you, all cash going to a common slut, that dumped you for a short fling with someone else that also cheats on their partner,

And out in the real world you will get little sympathy, all that people seem to say is "your kids, you pay for them" or "you should have worn a condom" (even if you was married)

I can give you my sympathy on here, I know full well that you don't have to do anything wrong in life to be in this position, those that have a little fun whilst married will stick up for each other for ever, they don't have any morals whatsoever, and will do their best to pass any blame over to you, the CSA will treat you as if it was all your fault, and then short of cash herself the "mother" will stop you from seeing your child out of evil spite, you can't win mate, only get even.

And I have.

I know how you feel I have just been court I gave my ex the house when we split. And now the csa say I owe them 6k . I have a deductipn of earnings of 40% to pay it off and even tho I am paying the arrears of they still want money I dont have. I just about take home £600 and still they want more. Now looks like am going to get a suspended sentance as I cant pay the money back as quick as I can, even with the forty percent. So I have no way to turn. I am so depressed I feel I should end it all.

If I had the backing of the people, I would start a protest for the people, the fathers and the children this government rapes day after day. This country makes me sick. Poor children. Poor fathers, Sad, shallow Government F..kers.
