Credit reports your business can trust.

We are a consumer reporting agency reseller. We deliver bureau credit reports to your business — only after the consumer signs a written authorization and we verify their identity. Every pull has a permissible purpose under 15 U.S.C. § 1681b.

Are you a consumer? We do not sell credit reports directly to consumers. If you got this site from an adverse action notice, want to dispute information, or need a free copy of your file, we'll point you the right way.

Common Questions

What businesses often ask.

For consumer questions about your own report, see the Consumer Rights section of our Compliance Center.

Are you the credit bureau, or a reseller?+
We are a consumer reporting agency reseller as defined in FCRA § 603(u). We do not maintain a database of consumer credit information. We obtain reports from a supplying consumer reporting agency under a reseller agreement and deliver them to authorized end-users for permissible purposes. We are independent — not affiliated with Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion.
What does it take to become an end-user?+
Your business must (1) have a recognized permissible purpose, (2) sign our end-user agreement certifying compliance with the FCRA, (3) pass a credentialing review including business verification and a physical or virtual site inspection, and (4) complete annual compliance training. Your portal users must complete identity verification and MFA setup before access is granted.
What if a consumer says they didn't authorize a pull?+
If a consumer disputes that they authorized a pull, we immediately investigate. We have an audit trail showing the time, IP address, device fingerprint, identity verification answers, and signed authorization for every pull. If the dispute is valid, we report the incident to the supplying bureau, suspend the end-user account pending review, and cooperate with any law enforcement or regulator inquiry. Obtaining a report under false pretenses is a federal crime under FCRA § 619.
Who is responsible for adverse action notices?+
The end-user (the lender, landlord, or employer that took the adverse action) is responsible for sending the adverse action notice to the consumer. We support this by providing the required information about the consumer reporting agency that originated the data and by making our adverse action templates available through the portal. We do not send adverse action notices on behalf of end-users.
How do you handle data security and bureau inspections?+
Our information security program meets the FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314) and is led by a designated qualified individual. Our office has permanent signage, locked file storage, a cross-cut shredder, password-protected workstations, and monitored alarm. We are inspection-ready and welcome bureau-mandated physical or virtual onsite inspections.
Can a consumer opt out of having their file shared?+
Consumers can opt out of pre-screened firm offers of credit by calling 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688) or visiting optoutprescreen.com. They can also dispute information directly with the originating bureau. We don't perform pre-screened marketing pulls, so opt-outs from that program don't affect our service.
