With this latest increase, I wonder how I will continue to meet the payments, with Xmas fast approaching I can see this year presents being very thin on the ground for my children, even though they understand that money is tight this year, I feel dreadful that I cant give them the xmas they deserve. I have struggled as a single parent now for 7 years with no financial help from their father in all that time as he refuses to pay maintenance, this increase feels like a kick in the teeth for me, i work full time as it is and can see no way of gaining any extra money to meet this as my wages will not be going up in line with the interest rates.
