well this is going to end well theres going to be a raft of false arrests, lawsuits, cock-ups, and the tax payer picking up the inevitable bill and then they lose contract

Wait until there is a mistaken identity and Marstons pursue the wrong J Smith, because his initial is the same as the one they want and he is unfortunate to live in the same town.... Happens all the time with them enforcing for fines where a debtor has moved. Personally if they came after me for someone else's debt I would do make sure that DWP and marstons paid very dearly for their mistake, and would resort to DNA evidence to clobber them with. This is not a good idea at all. Those numpties would pursue an eunuch if they thought they could make him pay .

“All arrests are therefore carried out professionally, courteously and with sensitivity in order to bring non-resident parents to court.”

The group cited its experience in enforcing arrest warrants through its dedicated arrest division as “important” in winning the contract with the CSA.

 

 

Professional, courteous and sensitive ... and Marstons !!! in the same sentence.. was there a misprint?

One of many questions, if a non paying disgruntled father kicks off what happens, will they be allowed to tazer him ? More likely they will call the

real police and let them deal with him . Will it be like like the tv program "dog the bounty hunter " Marstons driving around picking up fathers then dumping them on the nearest nick ! As J McEnroe once said " You cannot be serious ! " Marstons recent charm offensive , inviting cag on board and the awarding

of this contract , coincidental ? Shurley shome mistake !

I posted a link to the story as it is important in case any enquiries are made on the forum.

 

Worryingly, it does appear to indicate that the CSA are taking a very tough approach to collection of CSA arrears.
