Introduction

Innovis (also known as "CBCInnovis") is the 4th [Andrew Ewalt's Law Blog: [http://andrewewaltslawblog.blogs.com/my_weblog/2008/08/opting-out-of-c.html "Opting Out Of Credit Card "Prescreened" Offers"] , August 18, 2008] and least-known credit bureau (also known as a "Consumer credit reporting agency") in the United States, the other 3 being Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Currently, a much smaller number of companies use Innovis for credit reporting, one being Trade Capital Company. [MarketWatch.com: [http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/trade-capital-company-enhances-deposit/story.aspx?guid=%7B413903B1-84B0-4E94-A980-8A27EAA89604%7D&dist=hppr "Trade Capital Company Enhances Deposit Loan Program, Builds Credit for International Business, Investors"] , September 19, 2008] Most sources of information about consumer credit repair do not make mention of Innovis (or the even lesser-known 5th agency, PRBC) at this time (2008).

Innovis is officially a subsidiary of CBC Companies, but companies that report debt activity, such as Verizon, refer to the company by the name "Innovis", or simply state that they report to "all four credit agencies".
