to think the csa should of contacted me ?

[MissBubbles]

i have two dc, both diff dads so two lots of csa payments, about 10 months ago csa rang to ask if i would like to be part of their text message service, in other words once they recieved the money i would get a text to say the money would be in my account within 3 working days, i said yes.

ds csa money came in middle of each month dd csa money at end of month, quite glad that it was staggered like this made it eaiser with bills coming in, then this jan i recived a new payment plan for dd dad, as i recieve every year so no surprise there.

but sitting here just now it occured to me that i hadnt recieved a payment plan for ds or any texts about ds csa money, so i check my bank, and sure enough there has been no payment from ds dad since middle of dec 2010, there has been no probs with dd dad payments, and i know ds dad only paid £10 a month but AIBU to think that if he stopped paying for any reason then the csa should have notified me by now as its over 2 months since hes last paid ???

I have not received any CSA payments for 8 months they never told me they just stopped heard not a sausage.

Why only a tenner? Even if someone is on benefits you get a fiver a week.

i have no idea why only £10, the only thing i can think of there is that he has another child somewhere, in which case fair enough, but if that is the case then hes a twunt for not letting my ds know he has another sibling

Well if they only text you to tell you when the money has gone in, if it hasnt gone in, you wouldnt get a text... or am I missing the point here..

This is the CSA who couldnt run the proverbial piss up... dont expect common sense from them..

it shouldnt surprise me really for first 9 years of ds life he never paid a penny or saw him, then he agreed to come back in his life, but after two months disappeared again, i continued to get the csa money until dec just gone but even so it was always only £10 a month over the course of 2 years, ds is 11 starting secondary school this july so i need every pennt i can get just for the uniform

good point squeaky lol just frustrates me is all :(

I've been trying to get money via the CSA for 10 years, they're shit.

too true mogadored i wish i didnt have to deal with them, only do as i dont trust my exp (dd dad) last year he said he wanted me to cancel the csa, when i asked him why he said it was because he wanted to be able to pay less each month (half to be exact) in order to save up for his wedding (to the woman he cheated on me with - hence why he my xp) and honeymoon

The only time I ever find out that there hasnt been a payment is when I think that its due/overdue and ring them and they tell me there has been nothing.

The last time there wasnt one it turned out that they had heard 6 weeks previously that he had jacked in his old job and moved to a new one (he is on a DEO) but they hadnt told me anything.

im going to ring them monday and see whats what, he has prob had his benefits stopped knowing him, in which case i wouldnt get paid
