Having had a peruse through some of the posts on here, it's reassuring to read that I'm not the only one having issues with KPMG!
I am finding it impossible to get them to acknowledge any correspondence or get an answer from them on the phone, one letter I sent to them recorded delivery, was answered 4 months later! At my second review, my wife and I sent our forms in together, she got a letter saying they were disappointed that she hadnt returned hers in the prescribed timescales, when in fact we did, we treat it as a priority when they request any information. When I eventually got through on the phone, they did manage to locate it!
Our circumstances changed at the beginning of this year/ end of last year when our second son was born, I changed job and our child tax credits stopped. I have written to them several times, providing them with new payslips, documentary evidence of the birth of our son and the cessation of our tax credits. I received one letter asking me to amend the attached income/expenditure form, but no form was included, when I spoke to them on the phone regarding my wife's review they said they would send one out again, but never have.
Their customer service is incredibly poor, I would imagine that most people they deal with find themselves in a similar position to myself where circumstances beyond their control have led them to this situation, and it is incredibly stressful and I just want to make sure that I am doing everything right, it wouldn't hurt them to answer letters and calls and perhaps show a little more empathy towards us!

Although I haven't had much in the way of adverse communication with them, I do find it stressful calling them as, as you say, it can be a nightmare getting through to the right person and getting any acknowledgement of previous dealings. It's a pity that they don't have someone on the forum that checks in now and again to address any issues as do some other firms that aren't officially represented on the site.
Glad that's over with....
I agree with everything you say adamski. It frustrates me that when it takes them at least a month to reply to my letters, their letters always insist I respond within 14 days[:(!] I wish I had found this site prior to signing with them. I was recommended them by CCCS
