PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL Subject : Second Request for Immediate Removal of Incorrect Delinquent Child Support from Credit Report. 

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to follow up on my previous request dated XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, regarding the removal of the delinquent child support account ( OFFICE OF THE ATTY XXXX XXXX # XXXX ) from my credit report. I am pleased to inform you that both XXXX and XXXX have already complied and removed this account from their records. However, I have not yet received confirmation of the same action from your agency. 
As stated in my prior communications, recent federal court rulings have confirmed that delinquent child support obligations do not qualify as a " credit transaction '' under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) amendments ( FACT Act ). Therefore, the reporting of this account violates the permissible purpose standards under the FCRA. 
Moreover, this is not a credit account, and the XXXX of the Attorney General is not mandated to report or update this account with credit bureaus monthly, as is required for traditional credit accounts. This further underscores why this account should not be included in my credit report. 
In addition to these points, the information being reported is completely inaccurate. This account has never had a late payment, and I have attached my payment record as evidence. The delinquency being reported is false, and this violation of the FCRA must be corrected immediately. 
Given that both XXXX and XXXX have already removed this account, I insist that you take similar action and promptly remove OFFICE OF THE ATTY XXXX XXXX # XXXX from my credit file. Please provide written confirmation of the removal. 
Should this matter not be resolved in a timely manner, I will be forced to consider legal or regulatory action. I trust you will handle this issue with the urgency and attention it deserves to ensure compliance with federal law. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
