exactly LancsDave my case has been ongoing since March 2010 Ive had a grand total of £220 off my sons "father" in 13 months of his life, he owes my son now £6,000 in unpaid maintenance, and the CSA cannot do owt at the moment as he is appealing the maintenance amount, and no doubt he will appeal against the tribunals decision, then appeal to the house of lords, then tell the CSA about a change in his circumstances and it all starts again, and still my son receives no maintenance, but under the new reform it doesnt say what action they will take against someone for not paying, under current CSA law they can deduct money direct from your bank account, put a charging order on your house, take your driving licence off you, make you get assets back you have sold or given away, even imprisonment, I hope they can do this and more, especially as I will be paying them to use the service in the first place!
