rapid rescore - CIC Credit

The RAPID Rescore service enables CIC to update the consumer credit information with the three national repositories of consumer credit information, usually within 3 to 5 days. CIC will forward documents, supplied by the consumer, directly to the three major bureaus for an investigation and updating of items reporting incorrectly on the consumer’s credit file. CIC cannot add new lines of credit to the credit file. When ordering a Rapid Rescore take advantage of the Credit Xpert Tools to give you the potential score increase.

  • Update a balance or paid-in-full status.
  • Update an account to show it included in a bankruptcy.
