Hi
As the subject suggests, does anyone have any experience with this?
My sons maintenance is deducted directly from my ex's salary and paid via his employer through Collect and Pay.
It is now 11 days late. I have gone through the history of all his payments and it is most definitely never been this late, ever. I have contacted CMS numerous times and keep getting told that I have to give them more time and then they will chase the employer for a reason why. What annoys me is I have to pay a fee for this service, and I know the payee has to too. So the CMS are getting £60 a month just for transferring money between accounts. This annoys me as for one, I feel my son is entitled to that, and 2, its a hefty fee to keep getting told I need to wait. By the time they are prepared to follow up it will be 1st March, which means he would already have been paid and it wont have been deducted. And I understand if they cant recover it they wont?
Im starting to get worried as the end of the months is fast approaching, I have our bills to pay next month and a huge debt repayment which is dad left us in and i've been having to pay, so being financially down is making me feel abit ill now.
