CSA question
I have just had a frantic call of hubby - to cut a long story short
due to fraud on his account (and problems with bank) he changed accounts to A&L and they were meant to change all his DD's over. he was extremly suprised to have been tracked down to work by the CSA who have told him they have had no payments for some time and are making him pay £600 lump sum! and £200 per month (on top of the £150 he already pays) until its paid off - there is no way he can afford this - and we wont be able to pay our own bills... please dont hate me, i know his child is due money thats not the question, he just cant afford it ...

hi red - its not my bank account, its hubbys, and looks like he didnt check the DDs - but the A&L had some sort of DD guarentee thing (as part of the incentive to move accounts) and said that ALL DD's would be changed over :( have no idea how long its been missed for... waiting for him to come home to get full story ..
ouch, they will not have sympathy at all
Ignorance is no defence I'm afraid and if the DD's have not been going out then the £600 should still be in the bank, shouldn't it? You will have to make sure there is that amount in there ready for them to take - arrange an overdraft, the bank may be sympathetic towards you because it appears to be their mistake, the CSA won't be and you could end up with a long list of bank charges when you have a returned DD and you will sill owe the money anyway alongside huge bank charges
