Sorry for going slightly off the subject, but I have also suffered with the CSA.

About six years ago, I was working in a modestly paid job, which was paid monthly.

One month I got my wage slip and I had only been paid £500.

On the wage slip was a payment to the CSA for about £600.

When I rang up and queried it at the CSA, I was put through to someone who sounded about 18 who tried to patronise me.
I asked why they had not notified me that they had an attachment of earnings.
He said they had sent numerous letters to me, which I denied.

I asked which address they had sent them to and he told me.

It was an address in a place I had never been, let alone lived.
They hadnt even put two and two together and realised where I was working was about 150 miles from where I supposedly lived :wacko:

What annoyed me most was that at this time, I was giving my ex £250 a month anyway from my wages.

I asked the censored at the CSA to put a stop on the attachment of earnings.
He then said, "Why, are you denying you are the father of --------
I replied no I am not denying it.
He didnt even listen and said "I can order you to take a compulsory DNA.!! :angry:

He was just purposely winding me up.

The next month, my wage was docked again for another £600.

It caused great hardship, as I had a new family and a big mortgage to pay. I almost lost my home.

In the end, I played them at their own game.
My employer who was livid at their actions advised me to leave my job for two weeks and then took me back on under a different name.
Dodgy I know, but what else could I do?

At the time I had a reasonably friendly relationship with my ex.
Because of this it even caused that to go bad.

The trouble is that when you ring them as I did on hundreds of occasions, they will not listen to you, they talk over you and twist every word you say.

On a final note, I went to see my MP about it.
When I explained, he just looked at me, smirked and said.
"Well, what do you want me to do about it?

How I didnt kill him I do not know.

Anyway, rant over. realmad

Sorry if I have hijacked this thread, but needed to get it off my chest.
This all happened six years ago and I still wake up in the middle of the night thinking about it.
These organistions all in their own way can scar your lives forever.

Buzz.

PS. I would like to make it clear, I am not one of those dads who try to evade paying for their children, I was always willing to cooperate with them. Unfortunately the CSA always go for the easy targets. The ones that duck and dive get away with it.

PHEW!!!!!! :lol:
