Home Address for D&B iUpdate registration

[jspeight]

In my attempts to obtain a D-U-N-S number online, I cannot seem to get past the first registration step. The online application says it is using my home address to validate my personal identity. When the authorization during the first step fails, it says that they were unable to verify my personal identity.

 

So basically, from just my name and address, the D&B system is unable to match me with their records and will not let me continue the application online.

 

As far as I know, D&B is a private company, so they would not have instant online access to databases such as IRS records or DMV records. This leads me to believe that they are attempting to match my information with data from another private source. My money is on Experian.

 

From the week I have spent reading the CreditBoards forum, I've gathered that calling D&B will only lead to sales harassment.

What is D&B trying to match my information with? I do not wish for them to match the data I type into this online registration to my personal credit reports.

 

How do I provide working name/address information to D&B so that I can continue with the application?

Call and ask to be transferred to dnb credibility corp. Ignore the sales pitches. Just say you are returning a phone call from their department. Explain your issue to them. Ask if you can possibly set up a file with them on the phone.

 

 

DNB credibility corp is the ''real'' if will, dnb. The main number you call is just for the sales people. Credibility corp deals with reporting issues ect.

 

 

Sorry, I don't have the number for them.

I looked up D&B Credibility Corp and it led me here:

Hopefully this method will work better.

No problem. Let us know how it turns out for you. You could probably establish an account online with a sales rep. Just skip past the sales pitches lol. You could also try the government contract route. Your suppose to get a number in 36 hours I think.
