This place is horrific. The company I am applying for a mortgage through is using them. They are getting half of their information wrong. So now I get to have conference calls with them and my current car loan company so that Factual Data can then tell my mortgage company what is currently owed. Why am I doing the work for them. How are they getting paid to say what I have already said and shown? They don't make any sense.Factual Data, Inc. Response

I'll tell every business I can to NEVER use Factual Data for credit checking. It was an instant reaction once my lender checked my credit. Factual Data sold my data and I was inundated by phone calls over and over, at least 20 times yesterday and more today. When these companies call, they are like mosquitoes looking for blood, and they don't stop calling multiple times a day even when you tell them to take your number off their list and tell them to STOP!!!! I don't know what it is that Factual Data is doing, but it is obviously something the company is doing to trigger this or you wouldn't be seeing the same complaint over and over again. Zero stars.Factual Data, Inc. Response

Factual Data does not sell your information to any third party for marketing purposes. After applying for a loan, you may be contacted by other lenders or insurance companies soliciting your business. These lenders have obtained your information through the use of trigger leads, whereby an applicant’s information is sold by Equifax, Experian, and/or TransUnion for marketing purposes.Review from Ben W

My bank recently used Factual Data for a credit report. Within 24 hours of them pulling my credit i received over 55 phone calls and 25 text messages from solicitors regarding "potential" loans. Clearly they sold my information. How this is even legal is beyond me. Would never recommend and frankly these guys should be put out of business with those types of shady business practices.Factual Data, Inc. Response

Factual Data does not sell your information to other companies for marketing purposes. When a Factual Data customer requests a consumer’s credit file for an extension of credit, a hard inquiry is posted to the consumer’s credit file with the repositories (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian). The repositories may sell consumer information under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to other companies for prescreened offers of credit. Those companies purchase lists to contact you with competing or supplementary offers. To opt-out of this practice with the repositories in the future, please visit optoutprescreen.com.Review from Joshua M

First the name, data is data this is repetitive and redundant. More importantly this company calls you during business hours and the first thing they request is your SSN to verify your identity without any further information. They are pushy and rude and I'm still not clear that they aren't a company designed to sell your information if not outright steal your identity. They also are wanting to pull my credit again even though the bank I'm getting the loan from has already done so. Disgusting.Factual Data, Inc. Response

Attorney General Must step in, this is harming, our years worth of hard work, this Factual Data, **** is harming our credit score, that took decades to maintain. I like to know WHY, the credit pull is impacting 60 points, what exactly is being done and why this practice is affecting so poorly.There must be some cunning reason behind so others can't obtain a certain threshold.I see absolutely nothing, that gives them a reason to harm and bring credit points down so low.We need thorough explanation and answers, and remedy to bring the credit where it was previously. This is a malacious practice to harm.Factual Data, Inc. Response

After speaking with Ms ****** with CBC companies I now know she also has access to my credit profile prepared by Factual Data without my authorization. So in addition to the 300 plus employees of Factual D she as a person employed by the parent company *** is able to see my personal information. This valuable credit history of mine has been breached by these companies at a loss to me due to a credit hit on 2 separate inquires in a single day while they all make a profit. Guess they are making a living by doing direct harm to a Consumer in *******. These companies making tens of millions should be stopped from making inquiries to a consumers credit without a direct authorization. Transunion, Equifax and Experian should reject these credit damaging practices as money making tactics against ******* Consumers!Factual Data, Inc. Response

at least some of these remarks were by people who were doing a refi etc...I'm not and did not authorize anyone to run a credit check on me......my score at 800 just went down with Eqifax because of a Factual Data 's doing hard inquiries on me? none of these were authorized and I'm not financing anything! Im sure these people think they can lie and mess with people but believe me it will come back to bite them!!!Factual Data, Inc. Response
