Payment problems

If you know you are going to miss a child maintenance payment or pay it late, you should tell us straight away.

If you haven't told us that you're not going to make a payment, we can take action to make sure you do pay. If you are paying through us, we can take action immediately. If you and the other parent agreed that you would pay them direct after they made an application to us, and you fail to keep to that arrangement, the parent with care can contact us and ask us to take action.

If you are having problems making your payments please contact us straight away.
