|
|
|
SAFE-SCAN
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Safe-Scan inquired automatically checks though the credit file to
|
|
determine if irregular or unusual patterns exist. It examines the name,
|
|
address, employment, telephone number, and Social Security number
|
|
contained in each inquiry.
|
|
|
|
Safe-Scan is a "red Flag" system, designed to alert you to potential
|
|
problems such as mail drop/prison/previously misused addressed. And
|
|
Safe-Scan is a "living" database, one that is constantly growing through
|
|
information-gathering.
|
|
|
|
Safe-Scan is the Profiled Address warning. By monitoring every inquiry
|
|
coming through the system, Safe-Scan warns you when, from a single
|
|
address, someone is using different names or different Social Security
|
|
numbers to apply for credit or employment. Another is True name Fraud,
|
|
which warns you if someone is attempting to obtain credit by stealing
|
|
real identities of innocent consumers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DTEC
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
DTEC is a service that allows users of Equifax to make inquiries via
|
|
Social Security Number, simple as that. It allows for more accurate
|
|
inquiry entry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ON-Line Directory
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Extension: D
|
|
|
|
The on-Line Directory contains the current phone numbers of creditors
|
|
and inquiries which appear at the bottom of the credit report.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Connection Process
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Connection is established by several returns, then a <CTRL-S> to start
|
|
the login process, prompting "(CB) Please Sign-on."
|
|
|
|
The account should fit the format of:
|
|
xxxyyxx-yx or xxxyyxxxx-yx (Y=Letter X=Number)
|
|
|
|
There are extensions that you may add on to your account to pull
|
|
different types of transactions. The format is as such..
|
|
|
|
IDnumber,password,user,extensions.
|
|
|
|
One extension that you will always want to add on is Z. it allows you
|
|
to view the companies name in the firm/ID section, instead of a
|
|
alphanumeric representation.
|
|
|
|
For example, if I wanted to pull an acrofile plus report with On-Line
|
|
Directory assistance I would enter my account like:
|
|
|
|
XXXYYXXXX-YX,James,DFZ.
|
|
|
|
Extensions:
|
|
D: Online Directory
|
|
F: ARCOFILE-Plus
|
|
Z: View w/ names in FIRM/ID Field
|
|
|
|
After entering the account information you should receive the prompt:
|
|
|
|
A-XXX PROCEED:
|
|
|
|
The X's represent a location where the database is located. here is a
|
|

Processing Inquiries
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
There are 2 ways in which I currently know how to process inquiries
|
|
either through DTEC, or through Name & Current Address Lines.
|
|
|
|
-----Name & Current Address Inquiry------
|
|
NM-last,first.<CR>
|
|
CA-####,streetname,,city,state,zip.<CR>
|
|
<CTRL-S>
|
|
|
|
-----DTEC Inquiry-----
|
|
DTEC-XXX-XX-XXXX.<CR>
|
|
<CTRL-S>
|
|
|
|
Well, that should about do it for Equifax, and off to another
|
|
credit/investigative network to write future documentaries on. I
|
|
currently have full information on TRW reports, and information on
|
|
several other networks/credit bureaus that I will be publishing
|
|
information on in the near future.
