Reading Credit Reports to Prevent Application Fraud Webinar
It’s not what you know that will hurt you when lending-it’s what you don’t know! In a USA Today Snapshot entitled “Different Faces of Fraud”, financial professionals concluded that 19% of the fraud committed against their institution was on the front end of the application process. Learning how to read and understand credit reports is a lending basic. We will cover the Big 3′s (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) data and look at the good, the bad and the ugly of each. Learn what you can do to uncover inaccurate information before you and your institution become the victim.
