CAMPAIGNERS who helped hundreds of families with queries about the Child Support Agency are pulling the plug on their advice line. Tony Leather and Christine Stables formed Pendle CSA Advice four years ago to give independent advice on problems. Said Mr Leather: "The move has been forced on us by pressure of other commitments and we would like to pass on our best wishes to all those who have sought our help over the past four years. Anyone would needs independent advice about CSA problems should contact their local Citizens Advice Bureau from now on. They have all been given details of the National Association for Child Support Action, including copies of the CSA Survival Guide." A final word of advice from the Nelson team is to get useful allies on side. Mr Leather added: "If people have been subject to unacceptable mistakes, delays and maladministration by the CSA one of the most effective ways of getting movement is to involve their Member of Parliament who can take up the case with the CSA chief executive's office. If that fails, and all normal appeals have been exhausted, it's time to contact the Independent Case examiner for the CSA at Chester."
