Im not sure if I am replying appropriately to the thread. I was just pointing out that I have 50/50 custody and have to pay cs to my ex began Nov 2010. As was expected it took several months but when I received notice I paid to date in one payment and sent 6 months of postdated chqs which they returned. The first thing I got was a notice advising I was in arrears, as I had to wait for them and was prepared to pay it seemed harsh. Also thre was a form indicating that I was Required to provide info regarding employment as they would directly garnishee as a matter of procedure. Due to medical leave I didnt have to provide although they did try to send it to Her Magesy the Queen, which is federal government Income tax, child tax credit etc.. As I was never in arrears they terminated this request when I called as was comletely confused.
I was advised initially and again on the phone that I have to provide employer info if available as part of their enforcement power. I definitely went through quite a time have a stack of letters from them and have never been late or missed. I got these almost daily the first couple of months it was ridiculous, treated as a deadbeat for absolutely no reason! Finally as the letters continued and when I called they advised it was OK to disregard, I requested a letter to that effect. I received the letter along with a letter stating that if I ever required this agin there would be a charge of $35. This is after numerous mixups, errors etc on their part. I was threatened as well with penalties, made my head swim I had been totally adhering to order. I definitely do not want it taken from my emplyer when I return to work. It is personal and I have not done anything for this to be necessary, still gives a bad impression! I dont understand how people can get away with what they do given their power. It is dangerous to have that much power and such inadequate practices. Who are they accountable to?Great idea for nonpaying but what about others who are treated like criminals and threatened/harrased and charged $ for FRO to correct their own errors
