Help
My ex owes around £1500 in child maintenance. She is playing the game very well and keeps changing job, agent etc.
Today I receive a letter from the CMS saying they have "written off unpaid child maintenance".
The letter cites they cannot recover the debt.
I am not sure what basis they have made that judgment as she works, lives in nice house has a decent BMW.
What can I do?
thanks

Maybe the house is rented and the car is a company car or in someone else's name?
You can make a complaint to CSM if you think they've not tried hard enough.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -

Nope. She is married and its a joint house and her BMW. A few years back I got the CSA (after months of perseverance) to issue court proceedings for bigger debts then. She paid up the debt to avoid going to court with a lump sump!0 -
