Risk Mitigation Solutions

Litigant Alert

Credit and collection lawsuits are spiking! Benefit from Merlin’s strategic alliance with WebRecon. The Litigant Alert will help you reduce the risk of lawsuits by repeat litigants. Protect yourself from known litigious consumers by comparing FDCPA/FCRA/TCPA litigants to debtors in your database.

Our database houses details on over 48,000 (and rapidly growing) FDCPA, FCRA, TCPA and other consumer credit lawsuits filed since 2001. When you upload a file with accounts to be scrubbed, our proprietary system uses a highly developed logic to find relevant matches to the names you submit and generates a new file with information on each hit.

Almost a thousand new consumer litigants are loaded into our database each month. Use this data to see if you are collecting against a debtor with a history of suing debt collectors.

Pricing

The most value is delivered when you use the service at multiple stages through the life of an account -- prior to loading, prior to mailing, prior to calling, etc. We encourage you to run accounts often, and offer generous price breaks for quantity.

There is no setup fee. Your rate will be determined on a month to month basis, based on actual usage. Balance will fluctuate with actual usage.

Bankruptcies Batch

Discover and monitor debtors’ bankruptcy records. Scrub new placements and monitor your existing portfolio daily. You will receive immediate notification when a debtor’s bankruptcy status has changed.

Having the industry’s best matching algorithm, the system boasts 100% confidence and zero false positives. Take advantage of data sources and technical capabilities either not available to or not implemented by other bankruptcy data providers.

• 6 external SSN append sources – over 98% of bankruptcy cases in the system have complete SSN capabilities. Each SSN is verified with the actual Court SSN, eliminating the incorrect SSN appends in other bankruptcy collection companies.
• 100% standardization and CASS certification of all addresses.
• 100% standardization of all names, including unlimited AKA capabilities. Other bankruptcy information collection companies limit the number of AKA’s.

Data Quality Management

To achieve and maintain our data quality standards, a team of analysts audit the data collected by the system daily. Over 7% of all collected records are manually verified to reconcile court data issues. Over 30 reports are utilized each day to ensure completeness, quality, and accuracy of the bankruptcy information. Additionally, data collected by the system is audited monthly.
