# §1015.205. Credit reports.

- (a) In order to aid DOE in making appropriate determinations as to the collection and compromise of claims; the collection of interest, penalties, and administrative costs; and the likelihood of collecting the claim, DOE may institute a credit investigation of the debtor at any time following receipt of knowledge of the claim.
- (b) As described in [§ 1015.201(e)](/cfr/10/1015.201.md?p=e), under the DCIA ([31 U.S.C. 3711(g)](/usc/31/3711.md?p=g)), DOE is required to transfer all debts over 180 days delinquent to Treasury for purposes of debt collection (i.e., cross-servicing). As part of its regular debt collection procedures, Treasury may also institute a credit investigation of the debtor on behalf of DOE.
