Hi
Ok so I have been supporting my 17 year through CSA since as far back as I can remember. It was not my choice and with most disgruntled mothers it was used as a weapon of spite.
Anyway the deductions was set and for years this payment left my account on its agreed date. I even financially supported the ad hoc needs of a growing child on top of the CSA deduction. 2 years ago I ventured into my own business and founded a limited company, however I continued to pay the set deductions even though I faced a substantial drop in my earnings. These payments continued up until April this year where I literally could not make ends meet with the demands of the limited company. I have offered maintenance in the form of tangible items with no reply from the disgruntled mother.
Now CSA is putting on the pressure with their procedures and they have recalculated my deductions but they have not accounted for the 2 years of over payments. Is this something they need to account for?
I've tried contacting CSA through the online employer portal but no reply as yet.
Are there any other good fathers in a similar situation?
Hi There,
CMS will look at your income as it stands now, that is all they are interested in, they will only look at your case up to the date that the point was opened and not before, they won't take into account what was paid before the case was opened, so they won't look at over payments that you made.

Thanks for the reply.
