Hi all
Personally i have recieved some excellent advice on here and id like to thank everyone for that. This really is a useful place.
I have a friend who works in rope access and he has come foul of the CSA.
He works sporadically, short term contracts and in summer he is really busy, winter quiet. He paid his ex partner (also a close friend of mine) religiously when he had the money and ill admit i was impressed by this as not many seperated dads i know do.
The only problem arose late last year when he was unable to work because of injury.His ex partner has been in contact with CSA on and off over the years, using them essentially as a weapon when they argue.
Last month the CSA announced to him that they were chasing for mainteneance dating back to 2008!!
Apparently because his ex has reinstated the case?? they calculated this and went for a deductions of earnings from his employers. He now gets over £200 a week deducted and since he is only starting back in march, after almost 5 months unable to work, the CSA have informed him that he will be liable to pay the approx 800 a month since jan (when he was informed) in either a lump sum from his april wages
Surely if someone is not working, and when they are, on a short term contract, they are only liable to pay the actual time they are working, and the employer has a right to uphold this contract? His earnings are by no means great and i really feel for my friend as this will unable him to survive on his own
