| What Is Hot Link?  The 
new CREDIT LINK website gives members access to our HOT LINK credit alert service 
at no additional cost. Company's can post changes in one of their customer's credit 
status and instantly notify the other members. If you are a Full Member you will 
also be notified if this credit alert is for one of you active customers (we display 
your customer number with the posting). Additionally, when you get a Credit Link 
report the HOT LINK archives are searched and any postings are displayed with 
the report. The HOT LINK database includes accounts that have been placed 
for collection, passed NSF checks, written off to bad debt, or other such events 
that may trigger you to revaluate the credit for that customer. This current information 
provides the early warning signs that help our members avoid losses and collection 
costs. |
