Welcome to English Forums! "respective" is not the word you want here. You need something like "appropriate" or "responsible".

Hey CalifJim,
Thank you very much for the reply! In the context, "respective person" refers to the manager/working department that deals with the incomplete form problems
do you still think the word is inappropriate? would respective department/manager convey the right meaning ?
P.S. I completely agree with you. "appropriate" or "responsible" are the best fits!
