You can go on D&Bs website it get a DUNS number for free, takes about a month after applying. You always have to use you own credit profile. If this is for a corporation you are not introducing yourself to any personal liability by using your credit profile when applying for business credit.

Many companies that deal with lots of monies or goods check your credit nowadays.  This has become a common practice.  Also, companies that deal with other individuals sensitive information (SSN and such) do credit checks.  They use this to weed out those with bad credit because they feel that they are more likely to be tempted to do illegal activities for money.\n\nHowever, I do not then that there is a way to get around it.

You might.  Some of these are just attempts to generate business lead information, and lead to spamming.  Some are more sinister, being a kind of phishing scam designed to get information from you that could be used for identity theft.\n\nIf you want to learn your credit report and score (and to learn much, you will want both your report and your score), you should forget getting it for free and spend the 12-15 dollars to get your report directly from one of the three reputable credit reporting agencies:  Experian, Transunion, and Equifax.  All legitimate financial agencies in the United States depend on these three credit reporting agencies.\n\nIf you want a free credit report, which is not as detailed as the score+report you can get from the three reporting agencies listed above, you may be entitled to one limited report for free per year.  This is available from www.annualcreditreport.com.  You generally are entitled to a free credit report any time you are denied credit by any potential creditor.\n\nIn matters of credit and finance, it never pays to go with anyone who seeks you out unsolicited.  That means never do banking business or credit reporting business with anyone who cold calls you without your calling them, who appears in a pop-up ad, or who e-mails you without your e-mailing them first.

Here is a list of tips to protect your privacy and opt out of mail offers.. All you need to know!\n\nLimit the amount of personal information you disclose. When filling out forms or making a purchase, give only information that is necessary. If you don't understand why the information is needed, ask. \n\nProtect your Social Security number. Don't carry your Social Security card in your wallet, and don't print the number on your checks. Give your number only when absolutely necessary ask to use other types of identification when possible.\n\nDon't leave personal information where others can see it. At home, be cautious about where you leave personal information such as bank statements, particularly if you have roommates, employees in the home, or are having service work done to your home. \n\nDon't disclose personal information to strangers on the phone. Many scams involve callers who say they represent your bank or credit card issuer and need to verify your account information. Even "research surveys" that ask for personal information can be a scam or merely a way to add you to a marketing list.\n\nBe careful with your trash and your mail. Tear up or shred items you are discarding that contain sensitive information, such as credit card receipts, bank statements or credit card offers. Keep an eye on your mail. Mailbox thieves can steal credit card offers, then apply for credit in your name. They can also steal both incoming and outgoing mail in order to find sensitive information that might be on bill payments, for example. If mail disappears, get a locking mailbox and take your outgoing mail to a U.S. Mailbox or the post office. \n\nUse your right to "opt-out." Each bank, credit card company or other financial institution with which you have an account must send you a copy of its privacy policy each year (you can also request a copy at any time). Follow the directions to "opt out" of having the company share your personal information with other companies.\n\nRemove your name from national mailing lists. Register with the Direct Marketing Association's Mail Preference Service. Your name will remain on this "delete file" for five years. Send your name and address to: DMA Mail Preference Service, P.O. Box 643, Carmel, NY 10512. \n\nGet off the lists for receiving pre-approved offers of credit. You can tell all three major credit reporting agencies Equifax, Experian and Trans Union to remove your name from these lists by calling, toll-free, 1-888-5-OPT-OUT.\n\nRequest no sharing with third parties. Whenever you order a magazine, buy something from a mail order company or an online company, or donate to a charity, tell them you don't want them to share your name and address with other businesses or charities.\n\nAvoid entering drawings and sweepstakes. The purpose of many of these contests is to compile names and addresses for marketing purposes. Similarly, don't fill out warranty or product registration cards. Your receipt will ensure that you are covered by the warranty if the item is defective.\n\nPay with cash. If you don't want to create a database record of your purchases, pay with cash rather than a credit card, and don't use "savings club" cards. \n\nGive your credit card or bank account numbers only to Web sites that offer secure, encrypted transactions. Never give personal information such as your Social Security number, credit card number, or address to unknown companies. Read the privacy policy of Web sites you visit. Before signing up for "members only" access, or entering information about yourself, read the privacy policy. If the policy says the site may share your information with other businesses, or if there is no privacy policy, consider whether you're willing to have information the site collects about you shared or sold. \n\nBe cautious about revealing sensitive information online. That includes in e-mail, ch
