Customer Review
A Cautionary Tale: Inaccurate Reporting and Unhelpful Staff
I am writing this review as a warning to others who may be considering using Merritt Credit Bureau, Inc. for their business and lending information needs. Unfortunately, my experience with this company has been nothing short of disappointing. The reports we received were riddled with errors and inaccuracies, which led to poor decision-making on our part. When we brought this to the attention of the staff, they were unhelpful and dismissive, seeming more interested in defending their product than in providing a solution to our problems. The 'Merritt History' report, which we were told would provide valuable insights into potential customers, was particularly misleading. It failed to include several important lawsuits and tax liens that we later discovered through other means. Furthermore, the search of their mechanics lien database was incomplete, missing several key liens that would have significantly impacted our decision to extend credit. The UCC debtor search was also flawed, providing outdated information that was of little use to us. What's most troubling is that the company seems to be more focused on selling their services than on providing accurate and reliable information. Their team of 'experts' was unresponsive to our concerns and seemed to be reading from a script when we asked for clarification on their reports. As a business owner, it's imperative to have access to accurate and timely information to make informed decisions. Merritt Credit Bureau, Inc. failed to deliver on this promise, and I would caution others against using their services. With so many other reputable companies offering similar services, it's hard to see why anyone would choose to work with Merritt Credit Bureau, Inc. Given their lack of attention to detail and unhelpful staff, I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy.
