I thought I would add some details for anyone struggling to get the Child Maintenance service to respond. After 8 months of no response to 8 recorded letters I have found a way to contact higher management. Arlene Sugden is the head of the CMS complaints and can be emailed at Arlene.Sugden@dwp.gov.uk This will be then be delegated down to a little minion that is then forced to respond. Emails also go through to other members of higher management by using the same format ie: Firstname.Secondname@dwp.gov.uk. I hope that helps.
I've used this and recieved letters telling me it's an inappropriate contact route 😉
I sent an email to Arlene Sugden today and got a response that she is no longer working for DWP.
Anyone know of her successor ?
@Will99 hi. Yes Arlene has left. There is another Director called Hilda.Massey@dwp.gov.uk
