Child support is a court-ordered obligation, not a traditional loan or credit agreement. In many cases, it's reported incorrectly — like a collections account or installment loan — which violates credit bureau reporting guidelines.
🛑 If it's misclassified, it can often be challenged and removed.
🎯 What This Means for You:
You have the legal right to dispute and remove child support entries if:
-
They’re outdated
-
Inaccurate
-
Or unverifiable
And yes — it can boost your score dramatically!
