I am being forced to pay child support for a child which isn’t even confirmed to be mine(England)
I genuinely do not know how to put into words what I want to say, but here goes nothing. March 20206 is when I’ve received a letter from child maintenance services informing me that I will be starting to pay around £300 a month for “my child” starting April. It was the first ever time even finding out about this whole mess. At first I did not take it seriously as I’ve not been into any relationships or had unprotected relations. I kept getting calls from them and I eventually discussed with them. I raised a dispute and requested a DNA test. I’ve informed them of my situation (financial), how is the first I’m hearing about this and that it couldn’t be my child. They half heartedly told me they will raise a dispute and ask the mother to do the dna test. I have no way to contact the “alleged” mother and I’m not even 100% certain it is who I think it is. After some back and forth they’ve told me about Cell mark and how it works. They never discussed prices, never asked me to broke down my expenses, I was told to call in April when I will be paid which I’ve attempted but since then I’ve been unable to get through. I’ve got deducted around £500 from my last pay and this has pretty much incapacitated me and I’m trying to figure out a way to keep my sanity. I don’t have any family support , I am (25M) and a foreign national. I work full time. I don’t expect anything coming out of this, but if anyone has gone through something like this, any serious advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S : I’m sorry, I tried to explain everything as coherently and clearly as I can put it . Thank you for understanding.
