How can he be £8000 in arrears? I ask from an un-biased point of view because I do believe that absent parents should pay towards their children.

Dispite being a govenment agency they are very poor at collecting outstanding money. There are measures they can take including wage arrestment but without that info they are stuck. There are proposals to use tax payment records as well as driving licence removal, which seems a bit wierd as it could impact the liable partners ability to have a job. It is still easier to use the ones paying but in arrears to make their figures look good. As they do not have a central fund to pay from then the parents who are due money lose out. If it was from a fund of their own they might suddenley find it easier to chase. All absent parents are required by law to pay but due to the in-efficiancy of the CSA few do and there are loopholes especially for the self employed.
