The Child Maintenance Service began writing to parents with historic CSA arrears in December 2018. We anticipate that we will have written to all eligible parents by August 2020.

The notice provides the parent with care an opportunity to make representation within 60 days if they want a last attempt made to collect their historic CSA arrears.
