child support agency

[hazza68]

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

My situation with the CSA is this..i have a nil assesment, but they are now threatening a deductions from earnings.!!!They are fully aware of my situation but they appear to be using bullyboy tactics becasue the government have given them a rocket up their backsides...so they are in turn passing the bullying to absent parents who cannot legitamatly pay...I know there is a form you can give to the banks stating that monies in the account are spoken for, but is there a similar form i can send to my wages department so the CSA don't play this dirty trick on me if they decide to do so.?...I'd have nothing to pay my mortage and see to my 3 young kids and my wife.
Any help would be of great assistance.

So sorry that I cannot help - I just wanted to say that we all know that the CSA are absolutely f****** useless! Best of luck!
