Emotions are high right now. My son didnt want to move with me and it took the court 8 months to settle on support, yes I am female and paying support (sick of people being surprised) Anyway they refuse to update my COLLECTION account that I am paying monthly on along with the current payments to an updated status. RIGHT NOW if a bank looks at my credit reports they will see this as I am not doing anything with this and it has been getting paid down monthly. What rigts do I have to force them to report accurate information?
I called the attorney genera twice trying to get numbersl, FTC several times, some other consumer help line, The beauro of consumer protection. They refuse to update my credit reports to reflect that I am making payments on their account!!! I even sent a complaint to the consumer protection beauro of finance and sent them the PDF from the fair credit reporting act section 623 where it states collection agencies must report acurate information! What are my options?
Anyone? I only have 3 collections on my report. This is being reported as "other" and they will not update it.
Sorry to hear about your situation. Child support postings is actually a weakness of mine, I've tried to study some about it, but it is still a bit of a mystery. So how exactly are they posting it to your CR? Are they posting monthly lates? Is it a CA that is posting them? Try and give me a bit more info and I will do my best to try and figure something out with you. Thanks.

The comments bug me too! This was something that was being worked on before I moved so they make it sound horrible. I work for a state agency and can NEVER be late or ignore the fact this bill is owed or I would lose my job.
Maybe because they are not reporting it late it isnt hurting me, I do know when I dispute it my equifax score drops 40 points.
Also they report quarterly so the amount owed should be around 2700.00.
I believe I would keep making the payments to get it up to date and then see what it reports. I don't see how the state of Ohio could be listed as a CA. That just seems a little strange. It would be a negative because it is still in arrears until you get the past due caught up.

That is the past due amount. Heres what they did to me. The original court date was rescheduled 8 months later. During that whole time it got rescheduled it was accruing payments. I just thought they would actually start the child support from the time it was settled but they didnt do that. The got me with 5K arears and obviously with my moms health condition I couldnt pay that all, so they were okay with making payments but they slapped a collection up there and refuse to note the payments. This has been paid on and NEVER late. 
The goverment told me to get a lawyer. This is so unfair, I have never missed any payments current or on this agreement.
They said they would make a satisfied account once I pay it, but this is so unfair.
Anyway I called two attorneys here and they both said they dont know what to do about it and when I found a solution to let them know!
Child enforcement is doing something illegal and according to section 623 of the fair reporting act they are supposed to report acurate information. This is not accurate information.
