    Ok, now Innovis has me pi$$ed off. I emailed asking them how I could obtain my credit report and this is how they answered:

    A little info on Innovis, first from themselves:

    Contributors/Data Providers
    Innovis is a required credit repository for reporting purposes to those who are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac servicers. For more information on guidelines click below

    Fannie Mae Servicing Credit Reporting Requirements
    Each month, servicers must report 90-day delinquencies to all four major credit repositories.

    Freddie Mac Servicing Credit Reporting Requirements
    Borrowers, or their representatives, are permitted under the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to inquire about or dispute the accuracy of information in their credit repository files. This right to inquire about or dispute the accuracy of information applies to any Mortgage that the Servicer services for Freddie Mac, just as it does to any other indebtedness of a Borrower. A Borrower may send an inquiry or a notice of dispute concerning the accuracy of reported information about the Borrower's Mortgagedirectly to the Servicer, or to any of the credit repositories listed in Exhibit 51. Whenever the Servicer receives such an inquiry or notice of dispute from a Borrower, or receives a letter from a credit repository requesting verification or correction of Mortgage-related information, the Servicer must respond in accordance with the requirements of the FCRA.

    Exhibit 51 - Credit Repositories and Information to Report

    Contributor Information Form
    Please provide mailing address for Innovis to mail Consumer Dispute Forms. This will be an internal contact and address only.

    FailSafe Product
    A national database of consumers with unfavorable current or past credit histories. You can cleanse your pre-approved mailing lists before offers are printed and mailed - significantly reducing your mail program costs, back-end credit bureau polls and potential risk. FailSafe is an FCRA compliant database comprised of public record and accounts receivable data collected from thousands of credit grantors nationally. On average 3-4% of all names surviving credit prescreening are actually delinquent, but not eliminated during the credit bureau prescreen process due to file fragmentation, mismatched records or records lost within the credit bureau master file. One last screening against FailSafe will safely eliminate the undesirable names prior to your mail date.

    Has anyone besides Greg, gotten them to admit that they are a CRA and that they will give you a report?
