Put Tri-Bureau Credit Triggers To Work For You

 

What are credit triggers?

Credit trigger marketing uses credit data to inform lending organizations when a customer or prospect has had their credit pulled for a particular product. By monitoring data from all three credit bureaus, we can identify and qualify your targets that are actively shopping for loans from competitors, so you can quickly get in front of them with options. Much like a prescreen campaign, our solution uses credit data and therefore must strictly adhere to the FCRA and must be accompanied by a firm offer of credit.

What is a credit trigger lead?

A credit trigger lead is a lead from any type of loan product such as a mortgage, personal loan, auto loan or credit card. Lenders use credit data provided by one, two, or all three of the major credit bureaus to identify consumers who are in the market for these types of loans. Once a consumer triggers, lenders need to respond quickly (preferably within 24 hours) for maximum campaign effectiveness.

Who can use credit data for marketing?

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) gives consumers access to their credit report but restricts access to others unless they have a permissible purpose. The most common examples include landlords, lenders and insurance companies. FCRA also dictates how you can use this data. For example, as a lender, if you want to use prescreen or credit data, you must make a firm offer of credit to the consumer.

How do you find qualified mortgage leads?

Qualified mortgage leads can come from a few places. If a consumer applies for a mortgage, our credit triggers solution will flag that consumer as somebody who is 'in the market.' Other companies have used deed or property data to source potential qualified leads. Consumer data sets can be used to sort through marketable audiences to better target leads.

What is the purpose of the FCRA?

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a federal law that helps to ensure the accuracy, fairness and privacy of the information in consumer credit bureau files. The law regulates the way credit reporting agencies can collect, access, use and share the data they collect in your consumer reports. It also dictates who can use this information and how they can use it. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) are the two federal agencies charged with overseeing and enforcing the provisions of the act.
