CSA Payments - A bit of info that may help others

Hi

The other thing is that as regards reassessment, both parties are meant to notify the CSA of changes if over/under 5%. My ex got a 5% rise in april and he got his pension in June (taxable so counted). Of course he did not tell csa of either! Luckily I am on the ball and knew about both and so contacted them.

However, CSA only backdate to the date notified which I think is terribly wrong, so once Ihave the reassessment I may have to appeal.

At the end of the day I believe csa is a pittance towards a child. My ex pays nothing else, doesn''t see the kids and doesn''t send presents etc. He has done a load of other horrific things to them including cancelling their mobile contracts (without notifying them) only £10 each, but very unpleasant for them.

He is only doing this to annoy me, I know that and so I tell the kids it is not them he is getting at but me.

Kids cost a fortune. M y ex is living with a woman (last I knew!) in a paid for house. When I last spoke to him (months ago) I asked whether there was room for our kids and he said no. Of course not! He doesn''t want his kids in his love nest, but at the end of the day soomeone has to pay for extra rooms, beds, furniture heating,, clothes, pocket money, treats and the list goes on.........
