The scheme also enables swifter identification and follow-up of those non-resident parents who fail to pay their child maintenance. <br></p><p>Where non-resident parents fail to meet their liabilities, there are a range of enforcement powers; for example, child maintenance can be taken directly from bank accounts and wages; non-resident parents are subject to charges for any enforcement action taken against them; and the Government has also introduced a new power to disclose non-compliance to credit reference agencies.</p><p> </p><p>Note:</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Work and Pensions is responsible for the Child Maintenance Service in Great Britain, in Northern Ireland Child Maintenance is administered by the Department for Social Development.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 23/09/2015 12:25:34 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
