An inspection of each business conducting a credit check as part of their Background Check was mandated by the credit bureaus in 2003. This requirement helps validate your commercial business’ address to ensure that reasonable security is present to protect the privacy of the consumer’s data provided to you. The inspection must be conducted at the physical location where consumer reports are received, managed and stored, and is typically conducted by an independent third party. The inspection, which takes about 10-15 minutes, is normally completed a few days after the a service agreement is signed and your account is created.
