Where to go for advice & support.
Dealing with the Child Support Agency can be extremely stressful
not only for the parent looking after the child but the absent
parent also. For this reason we have provided details on two separate
organisations that you may find helpful. We have no connection
with either company.
The first company is a website called
Parentscentre. They have probably the most informative forum that
we have seen covering all sorts of questions on the Child Support
Agency.Click here to be taken to their FORUM.
The second company we can recommend highly are NACSA
who offer their help and assistance to not only the parent caring
for the child, but to the absent parent too. They do not take
sides. They offer general advice via e-mail, post and telephone.
They regularly appear before Select Committee hearings, and are
contributors also to the Parentscentre forum.
With legal aid not being available to fight issues such as Liability
Orders issued by the CSA, and with a single solicitors letter
costing around £150 we are happy to recommended NACSA
who charge a very modest fee of just £40
per year. For this you have unlimited
access to an adviser as many times that you may wish
to contact them.
They will deal with paperwork concerning you appeal, but they
do recommended that in order to offer accurate advice, they suggest
that you have carried out a Subject Access
Request for all of the information that is held on you
by the CSA.Please refer to our Subject Access
Request section in our Downloads
area for a template letter.
If you have received an assessment, NACSA
will also check whether the calculation is accurate.
They cannot attend an appeal hearing,
but they will help you with all the paperwork required for an
appeal.
They dot not condone non payment of child maintenance, but they
try to ensure that the CSA deliver the legislatiocorrectly and
fairly.
