Why Am I Required to Upload Documents for the Credit Decision Report but not for the TransUnion Full Credit Report?

Landlords may receive the TransUnion Full Credit Report without uploading permissible purpose documentation due to the fact that with this report, applicants directly authorize the release of their information. A full credit report cannot be released without direct authorization from the individual whom the report is regarding. This is a requirement set forth by the credit bureaus to ensure consumer protection and prevent identity theft. Could you imagine a world where anyone could obtain your full credit file without your direct consent?!

The Credit Decision Report provides the most credit information that is allowed without having direct tenant involvement; however, this information can only be collected when documentation proving permissible purpose is approved by us here at RentPrep.
