Q: Does CreditAPI supports credit
card payments?
A: Yes. We recommend that such feature be handled by the
system that is ordering the credit report. In the event that is not possible,
CreditAPI can be setup to process the credit card that is attached to the
credit order request. This is a useful feature if you want to pass the costs of
the credit report to the end-user.
Q: How flexible is CreditAPI in terms of
configuring the look and feel of the credit report?
A: End-users have the ability to fully customize and generate
their own credit report based on the XML data provided. As a more practical
alternative, CreditAPI provides over 30 predefined customizable templates that
could be used to structure the order and grouping of data that are shown on the
credit reports.
Q: Are there fraud detection products that can be
ordered along with the credit report?
A: Yes. Each bureau has its own add-on product that can monitor orders for
discrepancies with the inputted data. For example, SSNs are checked to make
sure they do not belong to a deceased person and that the inputted SSN matches with information the
bureaus have in their database.
Q: Are credit scores accessible via CreditAPI?
A: Yes, a wide selection of scores can be ordered from the bureaus. Use of
credit score information may be limited by the credit bureaus.
