Stat . 501.204 ( 1 ), 501.203 ( 3 ) ( c ), 501.976 ( 11 ) I am formally disputing the reporting of the child support tradeline listed as XXXX XXXX VA on my XXXX  credit report. This account is reflected as an Open account while simultaneously showing an Account Status of Closed, creating a contradictory and misleading entry that violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. Additionally, the tradeline reflects a {$0.00} balanceXXXX XXXX XXXX  monthly payment, {$0.00} past due, and a payment status of XXXX or paying as agreed, with the last activity reported on XX/XX/year> and the last payment made on XX/XX/year>. This clearly indicates that the obligation was satisfied and is no longer active, yet it is still appearing in a manner that suggests ongoing liability. Continued reporting of a closed, fully resolved child support obligation may unfairly damage my creditworthiness and mislead potential creditors. 
Under Ohio Revised Code XXXX, it is an unfair or deceptive act or practice to knowingly misrepresent the status or legal obligation of a debt. I am requesting the immediate deletion or correction of this entry to reflect its true and accurate status a fully satisfied and closed child support account that no longer holds any financial obligation. Please complete this investigation within the time frame allotted by FCRA XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) and provide written confirmation of the results. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Violations : FCRA : 1681e ( b ), 1681i ( a ), 1681g, 1681s-2 ( b ), 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), 1681c ( a ) FDCPA : 1692g ( a ), 1692g ( b ), 1692e ( 8 ), 1692d GLBA : 6801 ( b ), 6802 ( a ) XXXX XXXX XXXX Reporting format violations FL Law : Fla. Stat . 501.204 ( 1 ), 501.203 ( 3 ) ( c ), 501.976 ( 11 ) I am formally disputing the accuracy and completeness of the child support tradeline listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as reported by XXXX. This account is marked as both an XXXX Account and Closed in the same record, which creates a conflicting and misleading status. The tradeline shows a {$0.00} balance, $ 0 monthly payment, and no past due amount, and indicates the payment status as Pays account as agreed. The last reported activity was on XX/XX/year>, and the last payment was made on XX/XX/year>, clearly suggesting the obligation has been fulfilled. Continued reporting of a zero-balance, fully satisfied, and closed account under an open account structure is inaccurate and may unfairly impact my creditworthiness. This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure maximum possible accuracy in consumer files. 
Additionally, under Ohio Revised Code XXXX, knowingly reporting false, outdated, or misleading information constitutes an unfair or deceptive act or practice under the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act ( XXXX ). The tradeline in its current form creates a misrepresentation of my financial status and implies an ongoing obligation where none exists. I am requesting that this entry be either fully deleted or corrected to reflect that the account is closed and fully satisfied, in compliance with both federal and Ohio law. Please complete the reinvestigation within the legally required time frame under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) and confirm the outcome in writing.
