I know a few people this has happened to more than once, my sister in law being one of them, her little girls dad hasn't paid a penny since she was 6 months old, she's almost 4 now and they have been contacted a lot and told exactly where he was working but apparently there 'was nothing they could do about it atm'

My sisters ex husband pays his through his wages every week and it randomly stops every few months, it actually still comes off of his wage but doesn't go to my sister, the CSA don't know why this randomly happens then when they finally sort it out they don't give it all back straight away they give her an extra £2 quid a week on top of her normal payments until it's up to date.

So yes, they do mess about, a lot, I know they never used to but that's changed these days.
