Credit Vigilance

When you order a credit report from JBT, that report is just a "snapshot" in time. As time passes, that image may change. JBT offers you a way to monitor that company and watch for possible financial changes in two optional ways:

Continuous Service

Automatic updates on previously ordered credit reports. This service eliminates the concern and "guesswork" of deciding whether to order additional updated reports.

Mechanics

Once a subscriber to Continuous Service orders a credit report on an individual account, the subscriber automatically receives during the 12 month period following such order all updated versions of the report at no additional cost.   The changes to a previously requested report which would prompt an updated report are as follows:

  • Rating changes
  • New Financial Information
  • Changes to "General Remark" Commentary

Benefits

The guesswork as to whether or not to order an update on a previously ordered report is greatly reduced.

Changes reflected for the entire membership in the Weekly Service Bulletin are communicated immediately to the subscriber.

Each time that a report on one of your Continuous Service accounts is requested by another member, the report is subject to a complete review and if resulting in a  change, would be immediately communicated to the Continuous Service subscriber.

Annual Fee To Subscribe: $25.00 (covers all reports ordered). Contact your nearest JBT office

Frequent Inquiry Report

Two methods of keeping track of how many inquiries are being made on particular accounts are available.

The first is a notation in the credit report which lists the number of confirmed reports sent to members on a subject company during the previous 90 days.

The second method is an optional weekly report which lists those subject companies on which there were five or more reports drawn during the previous week. This report will list: the account name; the JBT ID#; the number of inquiries during the past week. (if five or more)

A large or sudden increase in the number of inquiries on an account may suggest altered or unexplained buying patterns as well as heightened concern by other JBT members. As a result, careful credit investigation is thereby warranted.

This Frequent Inquiry Report is available weekly to all Members on JBT's website:

  • Faxed copies of the report are available to members for an annual subscription fee of $50.00

To subscribe: Contact your nearest JBT office

Bankruptcy & New Claims Report

This weekly supplement contains key information vital to all industry vendors and suppliers.

The Bankruptcy Report is a weekly listing of key developments in industry cases filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Information will include key filings, meeting dates, deadlines for filings by creditors,  members of appointed creditor committees, and listings of the largest creditors in bankruptcy cases ---- all as the information becomes available through the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

The New Claims Report is a weekly listing of all claims (name of debtor and amount of claim) placed with JBT’s Collection Department during the prior week.

One or more claims placed against an existing customer account should prompt an immediate review of the account. Ordering an updated credit report may reveal additional information regarding recent payment trends.

The Bankruptcy and New Claims Report will be faxed to subscribing members each weekend and will be available for review early Monday morning.

Annual Fee: $200.00

To subscribe: Contact your nearest JBT office
