Extortion by Civil Servants PDF Print E-mail

Last year the CSA were paid £3.7million IN BONUSES! The drive to achieve bonuses appears to be resulting in EXTORTION DEMANDS. The letter below was sent to a Non Resident Parent who as CSA agree is paying regular maintenance and also making regular payments to his arrears as agreed with CSA previously.

Not only is this a very threatening letter, tantamount to an extortion demand and designed to terrorise recipients into hasty decisions but greedy Jim also advocates payments by credit card which I'm sure you know carry massive interest payments and almost certainly could plunge any NRP that did take that option into abject poverty.

Jim maybe you could tell us how much you were paid in bonuses for threatening loving fathers that pay regularly and are struggling to pay arrears caused by your agencies incompetence?

Jim you're a disgrace and we find your threats and extortion demands repulsive.

To our MP's that allow this vile behaviour. How does it feel to be part of a government that endorses extortion demands in the pursuit of cash bonuses and all in the name of children?

Caroline Spelman MP PDF Print E-mail

Welcome to the life of Caroline Spelman, MP for Meriden and Chairman of the Conservative Party.
This high powered Tory MP & Chairman of the conservative party paid her nanny from her Parliamentary expenses and then lied to cover it up. 
 
Tory MP Caroline Spelman is in charge of regulating her colleagues' expenses.
Conservative Party chairman Caroline Spelman has admitted using her MP's parliamentary allowance for payments to her children's former nanny.
It turns out that she is also a liar as she told BBC's Newsnight that the money, paid in 1997 and 1998, was for secretarial work the nanny did but when the NANNY Tina Haynes was asked directly if she did any political work for Spelman she said "no".
So here we have a high paid MP basically making the taxpayer stump up for the care of her children, it's no bad enough that the government steal from fathers and children via the CSA but the likes of spelman expect you to pay for their kids care too.
Its getting so every other day we hear some other scandal about MP's filling their pockets but this one is particularly vile as men are being jailed by CSA, others are having their licences removed and the government even sanctioned public naming and shaming of men involved in CSA disputes.
If nothing else it stands as absolute proof as to why we the public should have every right to examine every aspect of MP'S expenses, something they fought in the courts to avoid.

It's only a TV licence PDF Print E-mail

Both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have claimed the cost of their TV licences in their MP’s expenses. No doubt a fully legal expense claim and without question the tax payer stumped up the hundred and sixteen pounds to cover the cost. 

According to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_the_United_Kingdom The Prime Minister draws his or her salary not as Prime Minister, but as First Lord of the Treasury. At present, he or she receives £127,334 and that’s plus expenses. But still these two had to get the hard pressed taxpayer to stump up for their TV license! according to the BBC 

Gordon was Chancellor of the Exchequer, the man that decides just about everything about the penny in your pocket and now Gordon wants to sanction a brand new plan to allow the tax payer the privilege of  holding all the debt for the countries failed banking endeavours based largely on surprise, the American bailout system.

Of course at the same time the poorest in our society are to have their 10% tax band removed causing untold financial misery, hmmm where is the phasein  in this little deal?

Oh! phasing only applies to CSA and only when dads payments should really drop dramatically but with phasing CSA can make him pay more for longer!

This is the same Gordon that wasn’t voted into office, the one that took over from Tony Blair, that's the guy that not only got the tax payer to buy his TV license but was at the root of the scandal whereby it was alleged (cash for honours) that his pal Lord Levi was attempting or may even have “sold” peerages, that’s the right to vote in the house of lords, yes the same Tony Blair that kowtowed to the Saudi prince that was getting a back hander of, wait for it a Billion quid to ok a “British” arms deal by quashing an enquiry into the bribery and corruption.  

Are we to believe Mr. Browns Hands were not steeped in this FILTH? These are the same two men that ran the government when the CSA was deemed to be “unfit for purpose” the actual words by Mr. Blair I believe. Since then the CSA have moved on taking a record 25 million pounds  plus from the tax payer in bonuses paid to staff for “achieving set targets” over a 5 year period http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6347955.stm

Daily we get reports and complaints about the operation of this vile agency and as you might expect the picture it paints is about as clean as the hands of the bloody war mongering Tony Blair and the bumbling economist Brown who it seems likes watching American TV. 

It seems the British taxpayer has bottomless pockets and besides paying for wars in far off parts of the world to please their American pals. Blair and Brown can also not only ask the tax payer to pay for their TV licenses but a thousand a week to jail fathers, in some cases loving, supporting fathers for failing to pay the CSA. The CSA of course hand over much of the money they collect to the treasury, last year just short of 100 million pounds.

 

It’s also easy to see too why we have court cases where the judge is prohibited from hearing all the evidence as in the case when anyone mentions money in a CSA show trial! The government aren't above crushing justice out of the system, we now not only have proof of that, we have it documented.

So what’s a couple of TV licenses compared to that?

This the same Gordon that bleats on about child poverty while his government continue stealing child tax credits from families daily. The same Gordon bleating on about Mugabi not being voted into office, excuse us but were you Mr. Brown? and when you were given the opportunity, did you call the election?

Oh and we are not party political, in the case of Cameron, that fool cannot be trusted with a bike so why would anyone trust him with the country? (click the arrow for more and video link)

Blatant theft! PDF Print E-mail

Fact: CSA collect more money from some Non Resident Parents than the CSA and the Benefits agency combined pay out to the parent with care!

So what happens to this "extra" money?

Is it in any way paid to out to support Children?

Answer
No it is simply retained by CSA and included in the total figure reported to and passed to the government as money collected from Non Resident parents.

They Don't Even count it!
They simply pass it on to the treasury where your government can use it for anything it likes, bailing out failing banks, buying long overdue weapons for their two war fronts or maybe to help pay MP's salaries.

So your government solicits money from one parent in the name of supporting that parents children and simply keeps a proportion of that money, tells no one, makes no effort to count or account for that money and spends it as it pleases.

Do you think this is the behaviour you should expect from you government?

Are your children being robbed by Gordon Brown?

Are you in this situation? Get in touch with us we want to hear from you.

Want to know how they steal this money and what the CSA have to say on the matter? Read on...

DEO challenge PDF Print E-mail

We reproduce this article in support of NASCA's decision to Challenge the Government that allows such foul behaviour by one of it's agencies.

Under the Operational Improvement Plan, CSA's current debt recovery regime is focused on retrieving as much money as possible by "any means necessary".  Their activities often breach their own regulations and procedural guidelines.

Sadly these DEOs are being used against cases that do not warrant such action, whilst CSA continue to allow the errant non resident parent to continue to avoid responsibility to the children.

NACSA has recently raised an official complaint to Government regarding the improper use of DEO, but the response from Government was disappointing to say the least.  We now intend to higher the stakes.

We are thus asking ALL visitors to this site to complete the Challenge Template and send it back to us either via email to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , or by post to

NACSA,
PO BOX 4454,
Dudley,
West Midlands,
DY1 9AN.

This is a complaint against erratic and unjust debt recovery.  Thus we need complaints from PWCs who suffer a lack of payment and enforcement action as well as those cases where a DEO have been unjustly applied.

Please Note: if you do not want CSA to be made aware of your case please DO NOT respond to this request.

Some notes for you to consider when making your complaint:

1. Arrears are legally to be negotiated.
2. There is no time limit stated in law in which debt is to be repaid. Your offer of repayment must be reasonable compared with the debt. One should consider repayment of debt within a maximum of 5 years. Offering repayments that will take in excess of 5 years could be deemed
unreasonable.
3. CSA Chief Executive informed Government that they would be taking quick action against those that default on payment.
4. CS legislation allows deductions from earnings to be taken at a maximum of 40% of net income.  However, such orders should only be imposed under certain conditions which involve non compliance of the NRP.
5. DEOs are discretionary decisions which should consider the welfare of ALL children, including those living in the NRP family.
6. The CSA are procedurally required to supply you with a copy of the DEO.  If this has not been served on you, they have not followed correct procedure.
7. Under CS legislation, there is no defence against a DEO. Courts are not empowered to quash an order on the grounds of it being unjustly applied.  This is a breach of Human Rights under Article 2 in which an
individual should enjoy the right to a fair trial.

Bear these comments in mind when compiling your complaint.   Then create a letter with the following information, and post to us as soon as possible:

I hereby allow National Association for Child Support Action the necessary authority to refer my case to senior CSA directorate to raise complaint over the debt recovery action, or lack of it, which contravenes a number of CS legislative regulations and CSA guidance procedures:
