Credit reporting for local decisions

Every business eventually has to decide whether to trust someone with a rental, a loan, a charge account or a job. A credit report does not make that choice for you. It makes information available so that you can decide with more confidence.

The Credit Bureau of Wellsboro offers credit reporting. Our aim is simple: to provide the most complete, accurate and comprehensive credit information available, so you can make important credit decisions for your business.

When to contact us before you commit

The best time to ask for credit information is before anything is signed or handed over. Clients typically contact us:

• Before renting an apartment or home to a prospective tenant
• Before lending money to an individual or business
• Before letting someone charge a purchase on credit
• Before hiring a new employee

In each case, a quick call can help you see the full picture while you still have choices. You can read more on our pages for landlords and tenant screening and for lenders, credit grantors and employers.

What to expect when you order

Ordering credit information is straightforward. You can reach the office by phone at 570-724-1041 or send a request to our 24-hour fax line at 570-724-9351. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

We can generally let you know within minutes whether the information you need is available. Because federal law limits who may obtain a consumer report and for what reasons, our staff will tell you what is needed to place an order. This is general information, not legal advice, and the office can explain the requirements when you call.

Part of a full range of local services

Credit reporting is one piece of what the bureau does. Clients who order credit information often use our other services as well, including collection services for past-due accounts and weekly public record bulletins for Tioga, Bradford and Sullivan Counties, PA.

Because we are a local office at 11 Cherry St. in Wellsboro, you can reach the office directly by phone, fax or email. If you are not sure which service fits your situation, contact us and we will point you in the right direction.

Why a credit report helps before you decide

Decisions made on incomplete information tend to be the ones people regret. A credit report can help you spot concerns before you rent, lend, extend credit or hire, and it gives you a record of what you reviewed at the time.

As a member of the Consumer Data Industry Association (CDIA), the Credit Bureau of Wellsboro is part of the national trade association for the consumer reporting industry. We serve clients in Wellsboro, Mansfield, Middlebury Center and throughout Tioga County and north central Pennsylvania.
