CMS and verifying bd address

2 replies

Hi so my ex is avoiding all contact from child maintenance, ignoring calls, texts and sending letters back. CMS have his workplace down and the workplace have verified the address that the letters were sent to is the address they hold for him. BUT child maintainance are considering closing my case due to apparently needing 2 sources verifying his address and bd sending back the letters has sent them into a difficult dilemma’ as now they can’t be sure he actually does live there.
What 2 sources do CMS use to verify the address? I’m just confused as they can see he earns, see the amount he earns and work said yes the address is correct and they can verify… we were all set up and ready until bd sent back the letter unopened claiming he doesn’t live there and now there is a pause and possible closure of my case?!
His family have told me he lives there, i know he lives there, his employer knows he lives there. He has other addresses with doctors etc due to not wanting to be pinned down for various reasons but i am so confused and frustrated.
Any suggestions to help with this whole address thing would be amazing

Hi yes they managed to verify his address by searching his direct debits and contracts i believe. They told me he has a bill or contract of some form that is at the address he said wasn’t his so this is taken as he lives there :) not that that helped as he’s now quitting every job as soon as they track his new employer down 🙄
