08007838527

not everyone is as thick and [***] as you are, we like to keep our private lives private.
Go jump off a tall building, it will do the whole world a favour!

The CSA give out their number on information leaflets as 08457133133.

Why do they use this number 08007838527?

Do not understand why don't they use this number in all their leaflets....?

They are useless if any quango should be closed down it should be this one!!!!!!

They can't get anything right!!!!

Two tier system and their standards are low than the gutter!!

Its the CSA and also used for DWP. Call centres have people who can take inbound calls or outbound calls and some can do both.

If you are in a "dialer" system you will be called by an automated dialing system which only connects to an operator when you speak into the phone. So if you hear a silence and don;t speak then the call won't conect. If you say hello, there will be a short pause and then the operator should speak.Now as the dialer system is only an oputbound dialling system is can not recieve incoming calls and if it left a number that could be called it would block up the lines so it leaves either a withheld number or in this case an automated message at the end of a "dummy" number.

Loads of companies including my own use this system and its likely that this number is generic for a number of DWP departments

I was just called on this number and spoke to them. i have dealings with CSA and it is legit. Plus I am a Fraud investigator so am pretty good at spotting scams.

I got a call on my house phone yesterday night from a lady who claimed to be calling from Child Support Agency and I answered, how may I help you? She asked for my DOB and I refused bluntly.  I told her that I do not have any business whatsoever with CSA as I live with my partner and kids and cant think of any reason why she would be calling.  I stressed if she fails to tell me there and there why she called, then I'll put the phone down.  Resultantly, I put the phone down.  This was a fraudulent and deceitful call that may perhaps have come from one of the government offices to gather one's data or for other reasons unknown to me but as I have nothing to worry about, I really dont give a two f**ks.  If truly this was a means to obtain one's data, then this government surely must be ashamed of itself.  It is ridiculously ludicrous.  Some of us pay our taxes and dont need this BS...

this is defo the csa made a claim this morning and they phoned me back on this number to save my phone bill which i thought was nice of them

if you claim benefits then your details are given to the csa so they already have them on the system

My wife had 3 phone calls today from this number, claiming they were form the CSA , enquiring about a 7 year old case that had been stuck in the system! After the 5th call they wanted to speak to me. After answering a few security questions and listening to some incompetent idiot explaining how I owed money from 2003, I became slightly suspicious! I complied with the information I was being told, and offered to continue any further correspondence via written documentation. I then stated that If I did in fact owe any money, I would be happy for it to be deducted from my educational support allowance. I was told this was fine, but they could not initiate this without my credit card details!! and that because I was a student, they may let me off a bit if I give my card details now........So I swiftly told her to F**k off!

What was more weird was that she knew all my previous addresses, and left me pretty confused about the whole conversation and its validity!

In response to this post, why would they tell me that they couldn't initiate a re payment scheme from my employment support allowance without taking my credit card details first. I was told that I would be let off a bit of the money I owe If I supply my card details now. I said I wouldn't supply any more information, unless I was written to via letter.  After phoning the CSA , I was informed that they had not contacted me, and had no intensions of doing so. So obviously it is a scam, or some jobs worth scum of the earth civil servant, attempting to obtain information under false pretences!

And more to the point, why are people who have dealings with the CSA and the benefits system, looking, or even posting on here?????

Sorry, why are people who work for the CSA and the benefits system, looking, or even posting on here?????

Its number could and will not live a messig 08007838527

Had a phone call from a very stressy lady asking for someone who does not live here. When i told them the person in question was not here she said she would post letters as she was in a government agency worker. Then through my own stupidity she asked to verify my address and I did................who are these people

this is the csa.........they say there dwp so you ring back lets be honest who would ring back csa haha ( facists scum)

This is a Contact Centre number from Paisley and they deal with new claims to all UK benefits within a specific area in the UK. It is legitimate and the reason they may contact you and ask personal information is because the have to verify they are dealing with the customer for security and data protection.  I know because I work for the DWP.  If there is no answer, they should/will try again.

John, we look on here because if we receive a call from an 0845, 0800, 0871 number etc req information on a customer, we check the number is legitimate and then we will check the staff members name on our internal data base and go through extra security checks.  We have alot of fraudulent callers as well so we also check incase it is a debt collecting agency or nusience caller so we can report it to our security team.

They may have been from a different benefit.  The number you make claims on is different to the numbers who pay / process your claims.  There are hundreds of them and invariably, more than one will be dealing with your claim, even if you have only made one.

I received a call they said this was a personal matter then changed it to criminal, it the CSA up to there old tricks again, ha! [***] them all.

Down beat dads check out this website it will blow your mind about the CSA

I received a call from a guy saying he was he was from the CSA (he sounded like he was from the West Country). I had a company 10yrs ago & he wanted to speak to my payroll re someone who is claiming to work for this company that no longer exists nor has been functional in the last 9yrs. He gave me a name of the person he was apparently investigating Shahid.......? so I informed him that he doesnt work for this company & never has... Very strange, no personal info was requested of me, but I called the number back after to check & there was a recorded message saying sorry they missed me & they will call me back..?????? Very very strange.. Is this the CSA..?????

When calling someone you should introduce yourself as it is common courtesy and correct telephone manners.  I do not expect a civil servant to be able to grasp this simple concept.

If you can't contact me or my family by letter then don't bother, we will not be answering any 0800 number's, People R not going to give u information over the phone as it could be anyone, get real.
