suing the csa

A question about : suing the csa

I read this elsewhere on the forum:

The CSA have immunity from criminal liability because its a government agency. Also you cannot sue the CSA because you cannot sue the State.

Is this true?

Best answers:

• i though that the only government dept that you could not sue was the M.O.D but i believe that status was took away from them, It was called royal exempt i think??
• Think the problem is no solicitor will take the CSA on (i think its been mentioned on here before). x
• If you can sue the CSA then i will be first in line!!!! starting with the harassment route!!! Its unfair that just because they are a goverment organisation that they can make up and change their own rules to fit certain situations!! we are fighting a case with them and i will take it as far as i can go and if we win our case i will try and sue for all the trauma and unecessary suffering my family has gone through in the last 3 years by this shambles of an organisation!!
• I successfully managed to get an injunction against them for 12 months in October 2010 does that count...?
• The following articles lead me to believe that the CSA can in fact be sued for a variety of things. I have just about finished my letter to the ICE which is in excess of 2200 words (lol) and I have high expectations of Mr ICE. If, as I am led to understand it takes ICE 6 months to sort this out, the CSA will have been making my life hell for 2.5 years beyond any right that they have to be as I am the parent with care and have made no case with them to collect child support on my behalf. I am fairly convinced that the CSA have broken a number of laws in their dealings with me and I am waiting word from NACSA as to what they make of my case. Would be interested to know the maximum amount that gets paid out in compensation via ICE route

• ah so the csa are registered as a business? how interesting...
• Penjohn, if you have exhausted the complaints process at csa next step is ICE. I have put my case to NACSA for review as I have been told that they are really good, I just want their feedback and advice about how best to approach the next steps.
• sorry - correct link https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/p...and-bills.html
• as I understand it they will help all cases but it takes a number of weeks til you get to the top of the pile, unless you subscribe for a minimum donation of Ј20 in which case they will revert to you in around 2 working days, I think that gets you some phone advice/support. I am not really sure how it works but I will let you know. I signed up yesterday and emailed them my story, expect to hear from them tomorrow based on their timescales.
• their email response to me was "At NACSA, our aim is to offer help to you and your family, and try to relieve some of the stress that you are currently facing. This does mean at times we are overwhelmed with people contacting us.
  We will try to respond to your query within 48 hours, but our mission is to help everyone, and sometimes it can take us a little longer to get around to you all"
