Hi
Sorry if this is a repeated topic but I've had a quick browse and couldn't see it mention recently.
My daughter is now 11 and following a period of voluntary payment my ex asked the CSA to sort out matters. At the time I was assessed under the old scheme and I'm currently paying £320 a month. My partner and I are now looking obtain a morgage however this amount may prove to be a sticking point for us obtaining the morgage we require for the property we have our eye on. I've ran my figures through the current CSA calculator and it estimates if I was a new assessment I'd be be paying approx £200.
I have no issue with paying for my daughter at all but how can the CSA have 2 seperate assessments rules and refuse to move me onto the new system? How is this not a breach of my human rights (or something along those lines)? Can anyone justify this or offer me some advise? Surely they should be looking to move all claims over onto one system?
:boohoo:
hi and welcome
I'm afraid that anyone assessed under the old system cannot be assessed under the new system (I agree that this is wholly unjust) so there is not a lot you can do. There is a new system supposedly coming into existence around October this year, and it may be possible to transfer onto this from the existing systems, but I have no idea how quickly this will happen.
Thanks mate 🙂 and thanks for the reply.
I honestly can't believe they haven't been challenged on this legally. They can't have one system for one and one for another. In every other walk of live this wouldn't be allowed.
Anyway will just have to see what the future brings I guess.
