Re: Cari check you PM. N/M

For anyone who has used D&B could you inform the rest of us as to the turnaround time or how long it took for you to at least get your money from the people who owed you the money. Was it worth it and a little bit of the process. I read D&B's process but things do not always go the way we want it too.


I would think it would be pretty quick since D&B reports to the credit agencies and BBB to show a history of the issue.

Thnx

I'm curious Cari, how come you do so much via PM?

Is it you don't wish to share?

This is Dunn & Bradstreet. A highly respected company, listed on the stock exchange. I see why companies will be inclined to pay up promptly. If you are running a respectable co., DNB has the power to downgrade you for not paying your vendors. They offer business credit information. So it is in the best interest of companies to keep a clean profile, if they are planning on expanding and need a loan. A bad grade from this company is never good.
Cari, thanks for the valuable information. I never knew tht they had a section for small businesses.
