This is odd. I have a few inquiries from CENDANT on my CR and I wasn't sure what they were for (softs I believe) and tonight I am online making reservations at Days Inn and their FAQ section says "All of our hotels are independently owned and operated. Please inquire about positions within individual hotels by contacting the property directly. If you are seeking employment in our corporate offices, feel free to visit us at www.cendant.com." What are they doing in my credit report? Do hotels check CRs or are the hotels just a subdivision of CENDANT?
Cendant isâ?¦ one of the foremost providers of travel, real estate, vehicle, and financial services in the world; the worldâ??s largest hotel franchisor, the worldâ??s largest vacation ownership organization, and the worldâ??s second largest general-use car rental agency; the worldâ??s largest real estate brokerage franchisor, one of the largest retail mortgage originators in the U.S., and the worldâ??s largest corporate employee relocation company; the franchisor of the second-largest tax preparation service in the U.S., the owner of the largest non-municipal car park operator in the U.K., and the worldâ??s leader in reservation transaction processing for the hotel and car rental industries. Harry Silverman is a busy guy. Do you have an account with any of the above ? Did you rent a car? -Radi8
Its probably a PRM for one of their other businesses. If its showing on Evil Ex you will have to call them to be sure.
Yes, I did rent a car a few months ago. I didn't know they would pull my credit. Why would they need my credit report if they already had my credit card for security? Its actually showing as an AR on TU.
Cendant also has a large mortgage business. Could it have been in connection with your trying to get a mortgage?
Re: Re: CENDANT and Days Inn? I went to my local CU for that - and have the inquiry for them - I know they didn't outsource it because of the situation. I did rent a car (from Avis or Alamo or Enterprise? lol can't recall) around the time that this inquiry was placed, so that is probably it.
Re: Re: CENDANT and Days Inn? They dont pull reports for auto rentals - not that I have ever heard of. Cendant is a huge corporation - They own: CENTURY 21® Coldwell Banker® Coldwell Banker Commercial® ERA® Real Estate NRT Real Estate Brokerage Relocation - Cendant MobilitySM Mortgage - Cendant MortgageSM Title and Settlement Services - Cendant Settlement Services Group Amerihost Inn® Days Inn® Howard Johnson® Knights Inn® Ramada Inn® Super 8® Travelodge® Villager® Wingate Inn® Fairfield® Resorts RCI® Trendwest Cuendet® Holiday Cottages Group® Novasol Welcome Holidays, Ltd.

So, my thoughts would be this... if you used any of their real estate services... your broker automatically ran your credit thru their mortgage service. I know that realtors here do it - without peoples permission.
