I received a letter from New Jersey Child Support stating they emancipated my daughter (who just turned 18) and cancelled the arrears due to me because I failed to respond to 3 letters sent over a period of 6 months. I responded in writing to the first letter and called the child support call center twice. The third letter was certified mail, which I signed for but never delivered. The probation officer said a final 10-day letter was sent, but this is not true. My daughter is 18, and my divorce did not stipulate an age for support to end. Is this legal, and can a probation officer decide to wipe out $2500 in arrears? If so, what can I do to get the arrears added back?

Reserved a Hertz Gold car rental in the US for Hertz UK in July, declined collision insurance, and purchased Amex Premium Car Rental collision coverage. The car received had pre-existing damage on the wheel, and additional tire damage was discovered upon return. Filed a dispute with Amex, but Hertz has not provided necessary documents. Now, a US collections agency is seeking payment. Should I write a letter stating Amex Premium Car Rental is handling the claim, and what if Hertz UK doesn't provide proof of damage? Will I be liable, and how could this affect my credit report?
