Consumer reporting agency, defined
When a parent falls behind on child support payments, the state division reports that parent's name and the amount they owe to credit reporting companies. Before sending that information, the parent gets a chance to say if something is wrong with it. The division also makes sure the company they are reporting to is a real, qualified credit reporting agency.
