Whilst some Child Support Agency (CSA) debt was automatically written-off in the main, once representation has taken place, where write off is appropriate, this is a manual process.

The majority of the CSA debt write off has been completed and CSA systems (CSCS and CS2) have now been decommissioned.

The write off process for CSA debt held on Child Maintenance System is ongoing and we are not aware of any issues with this process.
