We have a finance order that says he will pay in line with the child maintenance calculator. He claimed he'd set up a direct debit but the payments have got steadily later in the month until he is now a month behind. I know a lot of people would love to have received as much as I have but if I don't tackle it now it will only get worse.
I assume going to court will incur costs that I can't afford. Xh says that using the child maintenance people will cost us both money. His increasingly delayed payments have always been blamed on the bank cocking up. He promised a double payment to get on track but this hasn't happened.
Does anyone have experience of the "Direct pay" scheme? How does that work? The website is a bit woolly on the finer details. Have you found that it works?
