5. Due to recent changes in vendor policies in response to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, an on-site inspection by a certified inspector is now required to run any reports OTHER than the TransUnion Credit Profile Report (Credit Report). The inspector will be viewing your business location to confirm that it adheres to the following guidelines:

  • Office is in commercial setting, or if in residence, must have separate entrance and area from living space
  • Office-appropriate furniture - filing cabinets, desk, etc.
  • Signage and stationary with company name
  • Exclusive phone number for business
  • Company/prospective member cannot be involved in the following activities: Investigative/Detective Agency, Pawn Shop, Credit repair/Credit Counseling, Attorney, Check Cashing, News agency or journalist, Process Server, or Bail Bond Company.
  • Pictures of outside as well as interior of office location will also be taken during inspection.

However, if you DO NOT want to have the on-site inspection, or if you believe you will not pass the inspection, please be advised that you will not be able to run any NON-CREDIT reports. However, we would be happy to run the additional reports (i.e. Criminal and Evictions) for you and give you those results over the phone, as we will not be able to provide you with an online or hard-copy of the actual report.

If you would like to have the inspection done in order to run, view, and print all NON-CREDIT reports (including Criminal and Evictions), please send a check for $75.00 payable to ClearScreening to the address given below, or check the appropriate box on the credit card authorization form (item #7 on the following page) to have this charge applied to your credit card. We will have the inspection company contact you to set up an inspection time once we have received payment.

Please note that the inspection can take 3-7 business days; we will not be able to process your account until the inspection report is received.

PLEASE NOTE: Individual/Owner-Managed Members will still be able to request and receive, view and print full credit reports online from TransUnion WITHOUT an on-site inspection.
 
6. As of December 1st, 2008, all users will be required to annually complete an online FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) training course for which there is a $30 compliance fee. This course reviews the laws governing the proper handling of consumer information in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and provides you with an opportunity to learn how to reduce the amount of risk you’re exposed to when dealing with such sensitive information. The fee will be charged at the time of sign-up and you will have 90 days to complete the 30 minute course at your convenience. As a thank you for your patronage and for completing the required course, ClearScreening will credit your account with one free Credit Report.
