How Does DIY Credit Help with Child Support? – Public Record Reporting

Modified on Sun, Oct 19, 2025 at 2:37 PM

Past-due child support can appear on credit reports and lower scores. Issues often include:

  • Incorrect balances or arrears amounts

  • Duplicate accounts

  • Accounts not updated after payments


How DIY Credit helps:

  1. Review reports for child support errors.

  2. Provide ghost-written dispute letter templates for members to mail.

  3. Coach members on communicating directly with child support agencies for corrections.

  4. Guide on positive rebuilding strategies to balance out negatives.


While we don’t control agency reporting, we give you the strategy and tools to correct it faster.
