I worked for this criminal enterprise for almost a month. Everything bad you're thinking about this company is wrong....it's much worse! Dont do business with them. They're crooks pure and simple. On behalf of the poor people I called this last month, I apologize.

Continuously calls.  I want them to stop immediately

The woman who called was extremely rude when I wouldn't allow her to speak with our CEO. When I asked why she called she said it was because there had been activity on our credit report. OBVIOUSLY, because we have CORPORATE CREDIT CARDS. I asked why we needed to call her back about this activity, and she just kept repeating herself. She finally said to me, "Ma'am, I don't need to give you no reason. You need to have someone call me". I corrected her use of a double negative, and she proceeded to hang up on me.

Listen D&B a***ipe, D&B only gives out the information that companies feed them. They have no way to independently check bank balances, past pay history, current income, executory contracts, number of employees etc.  So, in the past when I pulled a D&B report on a potential customer all I got was BS exaggerated income created by the potential customer. When I get solicitations from D&B telling me I had better buy their service or they will tell everyone my company is a high credit risk, I laugh in their face since I and my company have a near perfect credit rating with the real credit reporting agencies, and any potential vendor is going to contact our other vendors for references anyway.  I also happen to be an attorney as well and I am seriously considering bringing a RICO action against D&B. You D&B creeps are the lowest form of vermin.  For Google search purposes I am listing the following key words: blackmail dun and bradstreet class action rico lawsuit defamation D&B sucks

My calls came in from 888-881-9222. I did not call them back at first because I read about their scams on Rip-off Reports. They called twice a day for 2 weeks. I finally called them back and told them to put me on their Do Not Call list. The guy went into his scare tactic speal saying, "this is about activity on your business credit". I said, "no, this is about your company selling services", whereupon he hung up on me!! Hanging up is a sure sign of a scam and they do it to soooo many people. It's all over the Internet. I'm surprised Dunn & Bradstreet would even be remotely associated with these unprofessional thugs.

the reason you get a 1800# is because they hire outside sales agencies it's from dun and bradstreet credibility corp a strategic partner with d&b they hire outside sales agencies this is why you get an 800# this is not a scam

I got a call from April with Dun & Bradstreet Credibility at 1-800-223-5304. According to the real Dun & Bradstreet, this is "a strategic partner of D&B but privately owned. They are a separate company. They specialize in helping companies monitor their own reports."
In other words, they are a Telemarketer and you can tell them if you are not interested and to remove you from their call list.

A call comes in from this number at least twice a day.  They do not leave a message.  Reverse lookup shows number is associated with fraudulent Dun & Bradstreet calls.   They do not give up.

Each and everyone spending your valuable time fully engaged into this site STOP HERE.  I?ve been in the banking industry and owned several businesses for many years. Dun & Bradstreet and Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp are both fully legitimate legal entities. D&BCC is a partner of D&B who in 2010 acquired the self awareness solutions aspect of D&B and is fully licensed to use and sell products surrounding building/monitoring business credit reports. Most of you reading this have Googled the Dun & Bradstreet name and eventually found yourself on this site. Well, these phone calls or messages you may receive are actually legitimate! WOW! Are you serious? Yes! Almost every company has a DUNS number and credit report established by the very company you doubted. You might be saying, no way. My company doesn't! I didn?t sign up for any business credit report! Well, this is probably not the first time you were completely wrong. Ask yourself this, do I have a FICO score or personal credit report? You'll probably answer yes. Now, let?s think about that; did you create this personal credit report yourself? No! For most people, your PERSONAL credit report was created on your behalf like your BUSINESS credit report was created- without your say-so or knowledge. Most of the time, they create your report from the information sent directly from your Secretary of State which you supplied when you filed your company?s legal status. Additional information is received from the very companies in which your business pays its bills and other legitimate sources.
The phone calls you received were from a "Credit Advisor" who works directly for either D&B or D&BCC whose job is to let you know that your company's credit report was either: A. Searched for on the D&B website. B. Inquired upon. Meaning a company reviewed your report to assess the risk of doing business with your fascinating business. Or C. Alert emails have been sent to companies that actually pay to be notified when information in your businesses credit report changes. Of course, another reason they call is to sell you a solution to help you monitor your business credit or ?fix? inaccurate information.
If you still do not fully understand why you received this call; they called because you have not recently updated your report and another more informed business owner/officer/underwriter is reviewing your business credit report to decide if they want to do business with your company OR the reviewing company is deciding what interest rates/terms/costs to charge your company when they do conduct business with you based on how risky your report appears.
In short, the call you received is legitimate. Take the phone call or return the message. You don't have to buy a "Credit Builder" or other service from them unless you realize the price for their services are lower than the cost of ignoring your report?s existence.  Just remember, they ONLY call when someone is using your report to make a decision on working with your company based on the information in your report.
Intelligent business owners would probably like to know this information but then again I might be preaching to another crowd.

Dun & Bradstreet CREDIBILITY CORP sould already have your DUNS number . they get it from D&B.

Its a scam . go to I-update and do the same this for FREEE. they charge you 500-1900 for this and is stupid . I quit once I caught on . They lie to employee's about the product so we sell more but its a total sham.

It's DUNS number and every business has one! I actually use mine unlike all of you dumbasses! Maybe you should LISTEN and do some research! If you want to carry YOUR business on your personal credit your digging a bankruptcy grave!

Ok this is from Dun & Bradstreet CREDIBILITY CORP, which is NOT Dun & Bradstreet itself.  Upon calling Dun & Bradstreet we were told that several years ago there was an offshoot formed that is a credible company, but not officially associated directly with Dun & Bradstreet itself.

Basically, they want to sell you credit cleanup/monitoring.  Here's the deal, on the MAIN Dun & Bradstreet site, you can do this anytime you want and as often as you want for FREE.  

Callers were pushy, rude, and calls were made on a daily basis.  We have contacted Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp's main office at 800-700-2733 and officially requested removal from all marketing lists.  FYI, they asked for our Duns #, which we refused to give them.

1-800-223-5304, called said her name was Kathy Hall, that companies have purchased a credit report for my company, problem is we haven't did any work since 1988, we are no longer in business, so why would a company purchase a credit report when I worked for another company, not ours. I am now un-employed due to a work injury and can't work at all. Weird call.

I don't think they actually are a scam. Rush limbaugh just endorsed a commercial for them so i returned one of the calls and actually purchased the lowest scale product and they were actually right! Its actually kind of scary to think that i had been in business for the last 15 without a clue that information is real and that i didn't know business credit existed.

Our business received a call from this number.  They asked for the owner of the business and when told he was not available, they asked him to return their call to 800-223-5304, ext 61927 and gave a Duns reference number.  I asked if this was a sales call and the lady replied, "It is in reference to his business credit report."  Since she would not answer my question about whether her call was a sales call,  I informed her that we are on the Do Not Call Registry and told her to remove our number from her list.

I got a call from D&B at this number today, but didn't answer. They did not leave a message. I've read a lot about the credit company scams, how they will try to bill you $400+ per year to pay for "monitoring" of your business in order to increase your business credit score. However, I did not speak to anyone, so not sure if this was the purpose of their call.

Dun and Bradstreet is the commercial credit bureau.  If you got a call from them, I assume you're a business owner and they were calling to go over your business's credit with you.

They DO have services to build/monitor/maintain business credit, but just talk to them and they'll go over your report with you.

lol we are calling about your business credit report not your personal do some more reserch!!!

Tracey K called to inform us our credit rating was being down graded because of recent activity

Caller said she was with Dun & Bradstreet Credibility, and that is how they answer the phone when I attempted to call her back.

But, to check, I called D&B's number from their website, and was told that it's probably legit.

The D&B guy I spoke with said that he was a credit advisor too, and he could help me. He looked at our account and told me that our credit report looked normal, and that it had been purchased 8 times in the past year. That could be for scammer companies going "fishing" as well as legitimate credit applications we filled out calling to check on us.

So it does seem like this number is for a service you don't "need" but it probably isn't a "scam" any more than selling you anything you didn't ask for to begin with.

On the other hand, if you are planning to borrow money, it might be wise to at least be aware of what D&B offers.

Companies like Trans Union & Experian are for personal credit ratings. D&B is for business.

Linda- Checking your credit report is free. Equifax & TransUnion will send you a free one every 3 years. If you see something wrong, they have a free system where you can write/fax/call them to correct it. I would be very uncomfortable letting a paid/3rd party company access to ANY private information of mine. Companies also need your permission to access your credit report. How does this company know there is a problem? Red Flags are going up!

said our credit report had been checked by 4 companies; we needed to update;  we have an imcomplete status.  I suspect this is a fraudenlent activity. Wanted a $65 dollar fee to continue

Got this call and my business doesn't really use any credit so was pretty sure it was scam.  Don't they have to say it is sales call?

The initial contact is made through the mail - then when there is a lack of response to the direct mail pieces sent to your business, we begin to follow up with those that have seen activity on their report.  It is up to the business owner to maintain the report, its public information - unlike your *personal* report held by such businesses as Experian, Equifax & TransUnion.

I got a call from them saying that it was important that I call back.  I called D&B using a number I got off the web and asked about this number.  Apparently, it's a sales branch that's associated in some way with D&B, selling products to help credit ratings.  So it is somewhat legitimate.  I didn't need the service, so I asked D&B to get the branch to stop the calls; D&B seems to have the authority to do that.

Idiots called me for the second time. First time they left a message saying the same credit stuff. This time they just hung up.

You need an English lesson.  That's the second sign of a scam.

Yeah, and you'd do all of this through legitimate mail if you were really D&B.  D&B is a long standing company and does not do business with cold calls and shady practices.  They certainly do not have such raucous call rooms either.   I hope that you get back what you've been giving by working as a grifter.

All major credit companies are willing to do business through the standard mail.  This group refuses to do so.  You must be a shill for them.
