[Hidden-tech] Dun & Bradstreet Profiles

[Will Loving]

I just got a sales call from someone at Dun & Bradstreet wanting to sell me
a $500 package to update my credit profile with them. I've had a Dun &
Bradstreet "DUNS" number for some years, but have never paid them anything.

The sales rep claimed that "four different companies have recently paid us
$200-250 to access your profile and there is very little in it giving it a
low rating." I have excellent credit with the regular credit agencies, but I
don't know if Equifax and others track business credit. I assume that they
do but have never checked. It seems that I can manually submit financial
information to my profile if I want to, they just want me to pay them to do
it and to check with credit references.

Does anyone have any experience with D&B or know whether what there services
and "profiles" are of any use?
