# §11.6. Reporting debts.


DHS will report delinquent debts to credit bureaus and other automated databases in accordance with 31 U.S.C. [3711(e)](/usc/31/3711.md?p=e), [31](/usc/31/31.md) CFR 901.4, and the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-129, “Policies for Federal Credit Programs and Non-tax Receivables,” which may be found at http://www.fms.treas.gov/debt. At least sixty (60) days prior to reporting a delinquent debt to a consumer reporting agency, DHS sends a notice to the debtor in accordance with [6 CFR 11.3](/cfr/6/11.3.md). DHS may authorize the Treasury Department's Financial Management Service to report to credit bureaus those delinquent debts that have been transferred to the Financial Management Service for administrative offset.
