Mike, How come so many of the companies ask for SS# instead of D&B#

the majority of banks do not offer "no pg" credit but there is a handful of them that do.

In our business's case, we did everything...got the dun's number started with a credit account with no PG; one year later we are securing credit with no PG, but when I tried to go to eupdate on D & B website it shows only 1 line for one payment and nothing else....I don't think we are generating a paydex score. D & B says we need to pay $400 to set up our d&B with our lines of credit so we can start receiving a Paydex score...Has anyone had any experience with this?

ok First of all, you do not need to pay the $400. What I can say is that many of your vendors are not reporting to DnB. - mike

Hi, How can we check the DnB rating fo rour business to see where we stand? What is the cost? Do you pay each time like FICO? Do inquiries from yourself (or others) hurt your score with DnB?
