I have outstanding arrears with the CSA of just over £2,000.
These arrears relate solely to money taken via an attachment of earnings order by my previous employer but not paid to the CSA due to the firm going into liquidation.
I have advised the CSA of this and also provided them with my payslips which confirm I never received the money. I have also confirmed the Insolvency Practitioner(IP) the CSA need to contact to claim this money.
The CSA are stating that I am still liable for this money as they never received it and it is my job to attempt to recover the funds? Is this right? Surely the agreement was between my previous employer and the CSA and as such they should contact the IP to attempt to obtain this amount? If not then I become liable to pay this amount twice which to me is not fair.
I am not trying to avoid paying my maintenance just can not understand why I should have to pay the same amount of money twice as it is not in any way my fault that they never received these monies.
