Child maintenance service to issue yearly statements with a full breakdown

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The child maintenance service to issue a full yearly statement with full breakdown of payments, debts and the figure used to calculate the payment amount for that year
This is an account that is very hard to get factual information from, we have to justify why we want to see this information and to check the year on totals are correct and calculations are correct

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The Child Maintenance Service already provides an annual statement with details of child maintenance payments, which appears to cover all of the information set out in your petition: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/child-maintenance-a-guide-to-statements-for-receiving-and-paying-parents/understanding-your-child-maintenance-statement-a-guide-for-paying-parents

If you would like the Government to change the information provided in these statements you could start a new petition stating clearly what changes you want to be made to these statements.
