How to Suppress a Reference Number on Credco.com to Order New Credit

Prev Next

Overview

If you need to buy new credit data after a credit report has already been generated, you must suppress a reference number in Credco.com, then submit a new request for your borrower in Encompass. This will override the reuse of the existing credit data and allow you to pull new credit data.

Note: If you do not have access to the Suppress Reference Number, reach out to your Cotality Account Representative.


Suppressing a Reference Number

  1. Search for the Reference Number.

  2. Click Search.

  3. Select the Reference Number.

  4. Select Suppress Reference Number.

  5. Click Confirm to proceed with suppressing the selected reference number.

  6. A notification will show that the suppression was successful; click OK to close.

  7. To buy new credit data, log back into Encompass.

  8. Submit a New Request.

Note:  Once suppressed, the reference number can still be used for actions like adding or removing a bureau or borrower, reprinting, or re-accessing, but it cannot be suppressed again.


Outcome

You can now suppress a reference number to request new credit data for a borrower.
