CATERED TO YOUR NEEDS

Our software allows each customer to sort data with just one click, view all data in an Excel like format, setup multiple accounts within one office, preview reports online before credit bureau submission, and provides over 75 custom reports to choose from for review and balancing.

Also, we do not require your office to pay a monthly in-house processing fee for processing your account's, if your office meets all of the credit bureau's minimum requirements. Other companies charge you an ever increasing monthly fee for as long as you use their in-house processing or their Metro 2 conversion services.

GETTING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME

The most important feature of the Credit Time 2000© program is the written field validation program code. Per field validation checks ensures the rules of the Fair Credit Reporting Act requirements and the Metro 2 credit bureau requirements at time of manual data entry. This ensures that your credit reporting is accurate and in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Our software helps you get it right the first time, so that you do not spend your valuable time running error reports over and over to find missing data fields and making corrections.

Our staff tests and continues to test all screens and functionality, so that our clients will have extremely limited (and hopefully non-existent) problems when using this credit reporting package. Most companies test once and release the software as clean, but we know testing a software package requires professional experience people with background knowledge of the credit bureau industry to insure you getting the best possible software product. This extensive development cost before a release saves your office time and money when you’re using the software - and frustration when something does not work.
