WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T PAY YOUR CHILD MAINTENANCE

 Back on my soap box here people, but check this out.

 

It's sheer genius! This is a post on a site from a CSA case worker. Just an example of when non resident parents don't pay their child maintenance. Check out my response at the end, I think the CSA need more people like this working for them!

 

Here is our motto - YOU HAVE CHILDREN, PAY FOR THEM. If you do, all will be fine. If you don't -  People like us will be behind you making sure you do! SIMPLE

I happen to work for the CSA.

Flint – have you ever heard of the saying that it is better to keep your mouth shut and have the world think you are an idiot than to open it and confirm everybody’s suspicions?

As regards working without paying – we will catch up with you in the end. And then you will have to pay. Before you say that debts can’t be enforced after 6 years – wrong – this debt will go to your estate once you die.

House seizures are a reality now – not a myth. I know that because I made a referral for one which was taken.

As for self employed directors who claim minimum wage PAYE and then pay themselves in dividends to avoid paying maintenance – you will have a rather nasty shock when there is a massive bill sent your way following a variation or departure for dividend income and/or lifestyle inconsistencies.

My best result so far? A gentleman who claimed he earned not a penny but paperwork summoned from his accountant including his tax return showed he earned over £50,000 a year. What happened to him? He’s now got a criminal record.

The fact is that we attempt to be fair, but if there is deliberate avoidance then there is every reason for hardball treatment.

So, flint, be ready for that knock on the door from the bailiffs.

Brilliance….Here is a really simple rule -

‘HAVE A CHILD. PAY FOR IT.’

Why do people think they can have children and give them nothing? It is not the resident parents place to fund an entire life for a child that was created for two people. The people not paying for their children need to ask themselves where on earth that child’s next meal coming from?Don’t pay for said child, and compromise the child’s life and happiness and there will be consequences. If someone has not paid for a child for so long that they end up with their home seized, they deserve everything they get! On top of this, the person who wrote this working for the CSA – massive well done to you, more of these people are needed!!!!

The Ladies v The Child Support Agency

THE LADY DETECTIVE AGENCY.COM
Don't get us wrong, us ladies here at the agency love the child support agency.

A great organisation who bring the non paying parents to justice.

The problem with them comes when you've got a hard work non paying parent who's playing the system.

We had a case recently. The father in this case was the one not paying for the child. He'd not contributed one penny to his school age daughter. The mother had been left to bring up the child on her own with no help. Something we just find unacceptable under any circumstance.

The father said he wasn't working, and he's been self employed for over 15 years.

He said he hadn't worked in 18 months, which was a lie because we'd caught him red handed and taken photographic evidence of that. We'd also given witness statements.

The father still pleeded poverty and he wasn't working.

Just a couple of facts of when a parent goes under investigation, here is what the CSA cannot do:

1. they cannot follow anyone

2. they cannot wait outside anyones house

3. they cannot visit a place where a person is believed to be working

4. they cannot do internet investigations

Pretty much the only thing they can do is look at electoral rolls and utility bills. That's wonderful, but that's far too many loopholes to slip under, and our target was well and truly doing it.

Our target was selling products on the internet, and he'd been photographed working.

The CSA could not do anymore to check this out.

Ok, so we did it all for them at a cost to the mother who's already out of pocket.

We got correspondence from the father admitting his work, internet evidence, photographic evidence, a place of work, witness statements and video evidence.

It wasn't cheap for the mother, imagine if it was a parent who couldn't afford this work?! That's another lying non resident parent escaping paying for their child.

Sad state of affairs when you have to do your own work to get anywhere!
