Why are people allowed to search to see where postings are being sent from?

IP addresses are listed when someone posts. Nobody is allowing or disallowing anybody to check. They take the IP number and go find out. We do it because we like to know who it is we are dealing with.
I do hope you will stick around and provide "inside" info to the cra trade rather than to give misinformation.

I saw your post about the verified dates not changing if the company has not provided new information since the date listed on the report. I have had this experience myself w/ your company and I also read something posted here about the TU electronic updates and how they are noted on the report in a certain way. So I think that I understand what you're talking about --BUT--my question is --if someone requests verification of the information on a tradeline entry on his report and the company that holds the tradeline is contacted, shouldn't the verified date update because EVEN IF the information remains as reported, the company has essentially provided NEW information by saying that on such and such a date (the date they respond to the investigation) the information is correct. The company has provided NEW information on this date even if it's just a confirmation of previously reported information because they have been requested by the consumer to do so at that particular time. The report section here is VERIFIED not status as of...or something else to indicate when the status changed on the report.
Anyway, I think that you can see how this distinction is confusing to the consumer and makes it unclear whether an item was investigated or not.

Okay. Didn't notice that this was the feedback forum. Will try to repost in creditalk.

All internet bulletin boards log the IP address of the person posting and most will make it public. We just use a traceroute program to see where the IP address is located.
