CSA Child Support Agency Reviews

Well I just have to write a review on these guys!! CSA- child SUPPORT?? Agency is meant to be a way for whomever (mum or dad) to get cash from the child's parent to help toward the cost of the child! It is only fair isn't it? CSA actually cannot co-ordinate themselves well enough to manage anything (other than putting people ...  Read the complete review

I worked on a temporary contract at the CSA earlier this year. I've seen so many people complain about it, I have to add my say... First of all, bear in mind that the people working at the CSA are underpaid, and treated...not exactly how they might hope to be, sometimes, by their higher-ups. Now, also bear in mind how they're treated ...  Read the complete review

I have heard much said about the importance of family lately, and fully agree it is an important institution bringing stability and order to society. However, it seems more and more couples are now splitting up, many without any serious attempts to save the relationship, even when children are involved. It seems to me that it is too easy to ...  Read the complete review

This seriously should be called the "Absent Parent SUpport Agency!" My daughter is now almost 4, and i have never had a penny from my ex partener because of the shoddy CSA! They send him letters, and threaten to take him to court, but the letters are not recorded delivery, and if he turns round to the judge and says he never received any ...  Read the complete review

I am afraid there are many women (men too no doubt)out there who have found the system that was introduced to support them has failed us. No longer can we assume that justice will be done and that our children can receive the basics to assist them (through no fault of their own) through what must be a very difficult time. I don't claim any ...  Read the complete review

I have recently had the misery of the CSA. My husband has supposedly had a child by a one night stand 11 years ago when he was young. The childs mother got pregnant by a one night stand despite the fact she could supposedly have no children cos she'd been steralised. Surprise, surprise a month later she was pregnant. She has refused ...  Read the complete review

I have worked for the CSA for over 4 years now, and whilst I know that we are not perfect we try our hardest and have to put up with a LOT of stick from non resident parents ...  Read the complete review

I would imagine that most people reading this review would have had, or would know someone who has had experience with the CSA. When my husband and I first parted in April 2000, he immediately stopped paying every bill relating to the house, despite promising me that he would still keep on doing so. As ...  Read the complete review

The Child Support Agency was originally set up to help single parents collect maintenance from absent fathers (or mothers) As part of the Department of Social Security the idea was that less money would be paid out in single parent benefits if absent partners could be made to pay. In theory this idea was great, but due to too ...  Read the complete review
