    I am writing to dispute a fraudulent account listed under my name with Missouri Child Support. The account in question was opened on 12/01/2009, with account number **********. This account was not opened by me and is the result of identity theft.I have already filed a formal identity theft complaint with the ************************ (FTC) via IdentityTheft.gov, and I have enclosed a copy of the report for your reference. I demand the immediate removal of this account from my credit report and any inquiries associated with it.

    The complaint was sent to the Department of Elementary and ******************* (DESE).  DESE is responsible for the First Steps program, which is Missouri's program under Individuals with ********************** Act, Part C, that is an early intervention program for children under three years old.    

    The complaint sent references "Missouri Child Support." DESE does not administer any child support program. Child support programs are administered by the Missouri Department of Social Services.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation.
