hi, im a married man with 6 children (4 stepkids and 2 of my own) i also have 2 children from a previous relationship which the mother wont let me see, anyway when i was younger the csa wanted money off me for the 2 children but i couldnt afford any so the debt ran up to 10,000 which they suspended because i couldn't afford any maintenance payments as well as contributing to the outstanding debt, anyway a few months ago i got a letter stating they wanted the 10,000 in full or it will be passed on to a debt collection agency. i rang them to discuss that im not working as im a househusband and that i couldnt afford that much as i have a wife and 6 children to support anyway he didnt care and said that it would be passed on to the debt collection agency and they sent me a letter stating they wanted 20 pound a week but i said i couldnt afford this but i will try and pay you 10 pound a week which they accepted but now im finding it hard to pay this amount out as we are struggling too and in the meantime ive had a reassessment with the csa and they said i dont have to pay anything as we dont have enough money coming in yet how do they expect us to pay 10 pound a week if they say we dont have enough money coming in?
1. is there any chance we can get this debt squashed
and can anyone help and give me advice on what i can do
