Delivered in the Credit Report and Offered Exclusively by Informativ
Liens and Judgments returns information in the credit report about public record filings on individuals to help uncover civil court filings during the credit review process. Get liens and judgments data in your credit report again, only available from Informativ.
Critical data on tax liens and civil judgments is no longer included as part of the standard consumer credit report issued from all three major credit bureaus.
This change occurred as part of the implementation of the National Consumer Assistance Plan which is the result of a settlement between the three leading US credit bureaus and 38 states in 2015.
As of April 2018, all the major credit reporting agencies have fully discontinued offering liens and judgment data. This was implemented to benefit consumers, not lender or providers of credit.
A lot of banks and lenders continue to rely on the information returned in their decisioning processes.
Informativ (previously Credit Bureau Connection / CBC) offers liens and judgment data directly in the credit report to ensure that our customers are aware of any civil court filings during the credit review process.
