child support agency help

[dragon1123]

:???: hi everybody,

need some help with the child support agency,

today they have frozen my bank account...again

aproximately 12 months ago they done exactly the same thing over a debt i had with them,

the outcome last time being that they took evey penny i had

at the time my solicitior informed me that as far as they was concerned the debt should be written off as it has been building up over the last 15 YEARS

the qustion is - can they take me to court again for the same bill, or is there anyway i can appeal if i loose the court case ?

Why have you not been paying?

 

As far as I know, from a friend who went through this the debt will not be written off and you will have to pay, the CSA can even put a charge on your house to recover the debt if the mother request it.

 

Nor will the debt be written off once the child reaches 18. You could try offering to settle for a cash amount with the mother, and then the debt can be closed.

"Why have you not been paying?"

 

How do you know this guy hasnt had an informal arrangement with the mother for the last 15 years? Is it the mother contesting you owe them a large amount or the CSA themselves? If its the CSA and you have had an arrangement with the mother for the last 15 years then tell the CSA that if the mother supports your claim then they will have to drop it as you have already PAID your contribution to your childs upbringing.
