[Withdrawn] Managing your payments with Collect & Pay

Details

The Child Maintenance Service offers 2 different ways of paying child maintenance:

  • Collect & Pay – where we set up and manage your payments for you
  • Direct Pay – where you manage payments directly with the other parent (once we’ve worked out a child maintenance amount)

This factsheet tells you about Collect & Pay.

We have published a separate factsheet about Direct Pay.
