Vendor Allows Direct Uploads on Credit Files

In the latest step in its "green" initiative, Credit Plus Inc., Salisbury, Md., will allow supporting documents for corrections of inaccuracies on credit files to be directly uploaded into its system. In the past, explained Greg Holmes, national director of sales and marketing, this had been more of a manual process, with the documentation faxed or e-mailed in. Now, Credit Plus operates more efficiently, with all the information on one screen. The green initiative started three or four years ago at Credit Plus with e-fax. In June 2008, customers started receiving a one-page invoice with a link to a secure website to review account details. This initiative alone, Credit Plus said, saves 30 reams of paper a month. Mr. Holmes, interviewed at the MBA convention in San Diego, said the company would be rolling out in the next year a new technology that will contribute to a paperless disclosure delivery environment.
