We will review the Experian, Equifax and Trans Unions credit reports, different file formats, and add-on products available. We’ll cover questions like: Can we get scores on Commercial Credit Applications? Do the bankruptcy scoring models really work? Can we use credit scores to streamline the lending and checking account process? Which credit reports are the best for my area? How can I run simple cost effective file comparisons? We will cover reporting your information, why you should run quality checks on that data and FCRA/FACTA compliance.
