Don't be a Target for "Trigger Lead" Buyers! Did you know that credit reporting agencies have the right to sell your personal information to mortgage company telemarketers? When you apply for a mortgage, we pull a credit report to analyze your credit history. That's a normal part of the loan approval process. But unfortunately, the minute your credit report is pulled, it sets off a "trigger" and your name and personal credit information is automatically added to a list of leads that the credit reporting agencies then sell to other mortgage companies. The companies buy the "trigger leads" because they know that you are now in the market for a mortgage. You may be deluged with dozens of calls from telemarketers offering all kinds of "too good to be true" rates in an effort to get you to switch to their mortgage company. To see what can happen to you once your name is added to the Trigger Leads list, turn up your speakers and watch the two TV news reports below. The second video features Best Mortgage's Steve Tytler on Seattle CBS News affiliate KIRO-TV!
