Well here we go my thoughts on the enforced foul payments of the Child Support Agency in the UK. 

If you have got this far, then obviously you will realise that I have three children.  Those who know me closer will know that none of these actually live with me.  Before people jump to conclusions and think, that I have just not cared and move around easily, just look at the picture and tell me how that does not look like a proud father.  On both occasions the descions for the relationships to end has not been my descion.  It is not my fault that the children now do not live me but I am the one who is punished. 

Now that I have explained the situation more clearly people should understand how I am able to come to my conclusions about the CSA.  Now let me explain some facts.  The CSA or Child Support Agency to give it the full title was set up by the Government to claim monies from what they call non-residental parents when an agreement could not be met by both parties.  I agree with in principle when a non-residental parent is not willing to contribute then help should be provided.  That isn't a problem. 

The problem I have with the CSA, is the fact that when an agreement is in place, as it has been with me and the mothers of my children, it should be left alone.  This is not the case.  Because they both claim, income-support (not supriseing with young children) they are forced to make a claim through the CSA, or they will loose a percentage of their benefits.  Now like I said a workable and acceptable agreement was in place by all parties, but now the CSA are involved it has broken.  The mothers see a fraction of what is paid to the CSA, the rest in given to the Secretry of State. 

Now like any good citizen, I contribute to the well being of all in the country by paying my income tax and my national insurance.  Surely this covers these payments that they recieve of income support.  Why am I through no fault of my own being pushed twice?  Why do I have to pay doubley through no fault of my own? 

The ridicoulus amount of money they are wanting to take from me is 25% of my net earning.  How any government call caliously let this happen is beyond me.  How they can expect someone to progress in the country, to go out and educate themselves, better themselves, to earn more, to buy a property and get themselves on to the houseing ladder is beyond me.  All this does is give that person disgust a bad taste in their mouths. 

The CSA has been set up by the Government as another tool for them to take more money into their pockets.  I believe that this has been done in away so that the Government can basically re-issue an extra tax on people.  This is being done in away that looks legitimate but in fact is causing hardship on many people like myself.  Fortunally I graced enough to have parents that have taken back home.  If not their would of been but one option in the long run.  With these forced payments, their by no means that I would of been able to survive with a morgagte or renting a property, this at the end of the day would of led to me being homeless.  Yes thank you,  you would of forced me onto the streets.
