I have had my letter to say mine will be cancelled in February next year but it really offers no advice as to what i need to do and when i can do it.
For context the whole 'you should make a private arrangement' bit has no bearing for me as he has refused to ever have contact with my son and i have no way of contacting him personally so no choice other than to pay to have it sorted (i could moan no end about the injustice of this system they're bringing in but it will achieve nothing so no point).
I don't know what it is i need to do or whether i can do it in advance or have to wait till the csa claim closes. I have looked on the websites - again lots of encouragement to make a private arrangement - thanks for that - and an explanation of how much it will cost me to not do so but no real advice on what i need to do and when.
I'm turning to this board in the hopes that someone here has already been through the process and knows what it entails - i'm dreading finding myself without maintenance and somehow unable to reclaim and i would much rather deal with it in advance so i know where i am. I'm also aware that despite fees i may end up getting more money as i claimed back when ds was 3 (he's now 8) and the payment has never changed despite me getting in touch with the csa and saying surely his earnings must have changed in these years. From what i have seen the new system will auto check how much he earns and bring it up to date.
Any advice and help would be really appreciated.
