CSA What a Load of Rubbish

A question about : CSA What a Load of Rubbish

Hi All,

Well my case as been going on for over a year now.

Anyway everythink got worked out my babys dad got told how much he had to pay what happens he quits hes job for 3 weeks then goes back to work, i then again put in the assesment with the csa they take another 3 months to sort he out he quits work again for 3 weeks.

His Boss is letting him do this................

SO in all im getting no money and he as beat the system is there any action i can take whatsoever cuz this is so annoying.

WHY DOES THE SYSTEM LET MEN GET AWAY WITH IT.........

Best answers:

• sorry im having a winge
• well why wont he be civilised..........
  you know im going to make his life hell.
  every 8 weeks im gonna go baxck to the csa to chase him up, so if he wants to play mean he will ghave to keep quitting his job.............
• Next time you speak to the CSA ask them to refer the case to "enforcement". If you can get it referred to them then they will chase him. He is what is termed a "Job Hopper", although if he is stopping and starting the same job his employer may get some stick for letting it happen. Each team has a target for how many cases get referred to "enforcement" and that has been increased recently. Its not the easiest thing for the caseworker to do and he/she will probably have to ask for help but thats not your problem.
  The problem is that the management will be pushing for a "stat" on each case, either a "MC" or a "closure", so its easier to close the case when he leaves his job. Not fair maybe but the teams are under a lot of pressure to get quantity rather than quality. Giving good customer service is rarely rewarded, and if you don't hit targets then the pressure is piled on.
  HTH
  ps. i agree with Newfunk its not only men by a long way. Female non-resident parents are no better. In fact often worse
• You and me both. I completley sympathise with YOUR situation, a deliberate attempt at perverting payments should be fined, old story I get ranting apologies if I go off on one. There should be an easier way of handling these situations when it can be proved a person is deliberatly put out of a job. The worst element, obviously apart from the eternal money worries, is the parent with care has to do all the chasing.
• No system, no matter how good will still let people get around it. Like people who own companies taking a lower then normal wage so it looks like them earn a lot less. So pay less. Unfair but it all depends on who has the most amount of money. Which tends to be the fathers.
  I do understand that it is hard when you have children and getting no support at all from the father. And yes for a lot woman there is no choice there partners leave them.
  Make sure that you are claming all the benefits you are entitled. Also do not allow this to make you stressed. It is hard and the CSA make you feel like you are smacking your head against a brick wall. The person on the other end of the phone is only doing a job they did not invent the system. So please don't abuse them (not that I am saying you would).
  I know the extra money would be helpful. But don't make yourself ill over it as your child needs you.
  I hope something gets sorted out for you soon.
  Yours
