My gripe is another CSA related one I'm afraid. My sister has been split from her ex husband for a number of years and he has always been pretty elusive in making child support payments... for example stopping whenever he felt like it. Back last year he stopped paying child support for good following an argument with his daughter. My sister decided to approach the CSA for help.
This guy has a limited company (he's a salesman) and is known to have a decent income, in fact he has often boasted about this to his kids and it's also obvious by his lifestyle. He has told the CSA he earns £100 a week and they seem to have taken him at his word! Given the turnover of his company is under £3 million, he only has to submit basic accounts to Companies House which don't detail his income. In actual fact we know he is earning between £35k and £60k per annum.
In my view the CSA should be asking for a copy of his latest accounts, along with his books showing the current period (given that accounts are historic), they should also get hold of his company bank statements etc.
