# CHILD MAINTENANCE ENFORCEMENT LETTER
Date: 6 September 2032
Parties: Priya Nair, Daniel Nair and the Child Maintenance Service
## 1. Purpose and parties
Priya Nair of 42 Willowbank Road, Cardiff CF11 8QJ asks the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) to enforce case reference CMS-7842196 against Daniel Nair of 9 Cwm Street, Newport NP20 3DL. The case concerns their children Anika Nair, born 14 February 2024, and Rohan Nair, born 30 November 2026. CMS assessed Daniel's liability at £300 per week from 1 May 2032, payable every Friday by Collect and Pay.
## 2. Facts, scope and terms
Daniel paid £300 on 7 May, £300 on 14 May and £300 on 21 May, but made no payment from 28 May through 20 August 2032. There are thirteen missed weekly payments at £300, totalling £3,900, less a £1,500 payment received on 27 August. The balance of arrears is therefore £2,400, excluding any CMS fees or later assessment changes; Priya's bank statement and CMS payment history reconcile to that calculation.
## 3. Process and responsibilities
Priya contacted CMS on 3 June, 1 July and 22 August and supplied Daniel's last known employer, Severn Kitchens Limited, at 18 Dock Road, Newport NP19 4RT. CMS told her on 29 August that a deduction from earnings order had not yet been implemented because Daniel may have changed employment. Priya does not ask CMS to assume an unverified income figure; she asks it to confirm the current assessment and investigate the employment information lawfully available.
## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards
Priya requests written confirmation by 20 September 2032 of the arrears balance, the current collection method and the next enforcement step. She asks CMS to seek updated income and employer information, consider a deduction from earnings order if Daniel is employed, and consider a liability order if the statutory conditions are met. She understands that CMS, rather than Priya, decides which measure is legally available and that enforcement cannot guarantee immediate recovery.
## 5. Review, escalation and outcome
Priya encloses the CMS decision dated 25 April 2032, a payment schedule, bank entries for 7 May to 27 August, and copies of her communications dated 3 June, 1 July and 22 August. She redacts the children's unnecessary medical and school details. Daniel's address and employer information are supplied only to help CMS identify the liable person, and Priya will notify CMS promptly if either changes.
## 6. Reservations and practical protections
If CMS does not provide a substantive update by 20 September, Priya will use its complaints process and ask for a written explanation of any refusal or delay; she may then seek independent advice about judicial review or other lawful remedies. She will not contact Daniel's employer herself, publish the arrears, or threaten imprisonment. She continues to meet the children's needs without treating this letter as a private debt claim that replaces the CMS process.
## 7. England and Wales law and completion
This completed fictional letter is dated 6 September 2032 and concerns England and Wales. Priya asks CMS to acknowledge receipt within five working days and to treat the information as confidential personal data. The request is made under the Child Support Act 1991 and applicable CMS procedures, without asserting that a liability order already exists; Priya keeps the originals, delivery proof and a dated running balance.
