08007838527

Phil, all the people who stand in judgement have clearly never had the misfortune of any dealings with the CSA, after 10 years of their cr*p and them stealing my money, ignoring facts and doing as they please, I no longer co-operate either - so you carry on as you are and you people out there who castigate people like me and Phil, remember you DO NOT know us or our circumstances and are lucky to be cocooned in your safe world - and before you judge me, I am a middle age woman, who always PAID her  CSA for years, even the bits I argued I didn't owe and eventually got a little back -  was lied to and cheated by the government - oh and I've always worked, I don't claim benefits and  as soon as CSA payments stopped my son's father, who has never worked but hung on to his son (mistakenly I thought it was love) - kicked him out and he came back to live with me...... do not judge people you don't know.....even if you know them, you may not know their situation as well as you think you do - if you have a friend in a similar situation - support them, they probably need it!

this number is c,s,a

i got a call today saying she was from a goverment agency 08007838527 asking me to give out personal information i refused she was insisting i give national insurance number i explained she should tell me  who she is  where she is calling from  and what her business was and untill that i would not give any information i recieved this call at 6pm on 18/02/2011

I feel reassured that people are saying it us the csa, my call from this number was very bizzar, apparently a payment had been missed and he would like my card details to make this payment. When I asked why the payment hadnt gone out eg bounced dd or cancelled dd he said he couldn’t find why on his system, also was unable to tell me the date my payment went out or the amount I normally paid or whether the recipitant had received money. My response was I would check myself then get in touch with them. I’m not surprised the csa don’t achieve much when this is the sort of phonecalls they make!

it is the CSA, it is the debt collection department, don't answer the call!!!!

asked to speak to my husband but wouldnt say who she was or which company!!!!

I just got a call from this number and they were happy to ask my details but wen I refused to tell them before they told me who they were they hung up the phone the csa I guess

19.30 caller asks for someone who doesn,t live at this address. When challenged said he he was calling from dept of works and pensions.

i had a call from this no if they are from csa or any other offices why they dont write to you and why they harrasing you this way this extremly out of order.

this is the CSA, i had a call from them tonight to ask whether i still wanted to pursue my ex-hub after he got on the phone to them rather upset & ranting!!My daughter initiated the claim,but cause i had to verify the details & that of our son,the claim was put into my name,much to the bemusement of my ex...they verified this to my ex thankfully as he wouldnt believe me when i told him this...dont know why hes "upset" though,he hasnt paid a penny towards his kids upbringing in over 11 yrs,save for a few items of school wear!!

recieved number message left this is a government agency tried calling it back not able to connect
08007838527

we been getting the same all day just bleeps when u answer and message when u tr and ring back

100% agree. It's very difficult for legit outbound callers to help the general public to understand that it's a lega requirement to protect personal information. This number is indeed for DWP and they were trying to contact me to arrange a meeting....there is nothing sinister here

It's the number for the Department for Work and Pensions, regarding Jobseekers' Allowance. I was recently made redundant and have decided to get all the help I can in finding a new job, so I've put in for JSA. I spoke to a very polite woman and we chatted for a little bit about what I'm looking for etc, and arrange a 'new jobseekers' interview.

This number is a cover all for the government. In my case it's the c.s.a. trying to reclaim money from 18/20yrs ago. My problem is that I did give my ex £40 a week for this period, but didn't pay by cheque, so there is no legal record of this. Guess what?......I now have to pay all over again!!

I own a tattoo shop, this number just called and a woman asked if i would tattoo her 16 year old son.
I could hear a call center background noise, of course I said no as it is illegal.
Who are they??? Why would the dwp or csa ask that?

get a proper job

i had a call but never answered it. i did claim jsa yesterday and im waiting for my interview. maybe this was them

This number phoned me and asked for me by name, but refused to say who they were.
Why?
I put the phone down and did a redial to find out who it was. It didn't say.
WHY NOT?
I searched the number and found out it was the CSA.
I rang it back and the message said they had failed to make contact and they would ring me later.
This is totally ridiculous

0800 783 8527 belongs to the DWP and CSA, you can call them on 08457 137086.
I asked one of their staff wy you can  not call back the 0800 number and he said its to ensure the right person is contacted as there are a lot of people who work there dealing with various things.
the cahp I spoke to was chasing up an old debt (for which they have got the amounts wrong!) but he was very riendly and helpfull and also said they do not like to write to you because a lot of peopel have moved over the years or just ingnore letters.
