Everything you need to know about credit monitoring, billing, and security.

Credit Monitoring

Your credit scores from all three personal bureaus (TransUnion, Equifax, Experian) and business bureaus (D&B, Experian Business, CreditSafe) are refreshed monthly. After initial signup, your first scores may take up to 24 hours to appear as we establish your bureau connections.

Personal credit monitoring tracks your individual credit scores across the three major consumer bureaus. Business credit monitoring tracks your company's credit profiles across D&B, Experian Business, and CreditSafe, giving you insight into how lenders and suppliers view your business.

No. Clear Credit uses soft inquiries to retrieve your credit information. Soft inquiries do not affect your credit score in any way. Only hard inquiries from lenders when you apply for new credit can impact your score.

You receive an instant alert whenever any of your bureau scores change by more than 5 points. The alert includes the bureau, the direction of the change, and your new score so you can stay on top of your credit health.

Only you and authorized Clear Credit administrators can view your documents. You control which third parties, such as QUENTIN SMITH MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS, can access your credit report through the authorized users feature in your dashboard.

During onboarding, you may be asked to provide identity verification documents and proof of address. Government ID is not required. Your case manager will guide you through any additional documentation needed for dispute processing.
