Csa

[Mummystevo]

Can anyone help me I feel like I'm at the end of my tether with the csa has anyone had experience with the phrasing in payment scheme with them?

What is the problem you're having?

Iv gone from the old system to the new system with my daughters dad they've told me that I'm entitled to £29 a week maintenance but there gradually introduction the rise so this year il get £5 a week next year £10 a week and so on can they do this?

Yes they can. The normal outcome of a phase to CS1 to CS2 is a decrease in child support, so the phasing is there to help the Resident Parent prepare for the change. But that means it has to happen the same way the other way around too.

If the amount is going to change, then someone is going to be on the bad end of the situation. Sadly on this occasion, you are the one not benefiting from the phasing.

It's shocking they've said il get the right amount in 2017 my daughters 17 now so I won't get anything then, is it worth appealing against?

I don't think there is anything they will do about it. No NRP can make them change the phasing when it is them who is penalised by it, ie. they are paying more than they should be on CS2 for many many years. So the same happens the other way around.

Although I do believe if you close the CSA case, wait a minimum of 13 weeks and reopen a brand new case, it will be on CS2 at the assessed amount. You should check with them that that is still correct though.

An NRP doesn't have that choice though.

It's a nightmare iv had no money since october my daughters dads working full time n they say he only has to give me a lousy fiver I wudnt mind if he seen her or give her money but his attitude is if they say I don't have to pay then I'm not il look into the 13 weeks wait, thanks for ur help x
