Im intrigued to see how other people receive their payments. Every time I ring them, I get the same answer - you will receive payments when we do.
So, I have been using the CSA for the last 4 years or so, payments should be £75 per week (a pittance for 3 children, but beggars cant be choosers!). It seems that they pay me as and when they feel like it, or there will be a period of regular weekly payments, then a period of very sporadic payments, (e.g. 2 weeks, then 1 week, then nothing for 4 weeks and a lump sum, then going back to weekly). When all said and done, I do get what is due to me, so as far as XH is concerned, his employers deducts money from his salary and leaves the rest to the employer and CSA.
It is so difficult to budget in this way, I would just like to receive regular payments so I can budget accordingly (although when I mentioned this to the CSA I was told that I shouldnt depend on this money and should be grateful for what I get - patronising idiots!)
Does anyone else have similar problems?
