- - presents: -
- - -
- - Reading Trans-Union Reports: -
- - A lesson in terms used -
- - (A 2af presentation) -
- ----------------------------------------------------------
-
- This file is dedicated to all the phreaks/hacks that were busted
- in the summer of 1987, perhaps one of the most crippling summers
- ever for us.
-
-
- Preface:
- -------
- Trans-Union is a credit service much like CBI, TRW or
- Chilton, but offers more competitive rates, and is being used
- more and more by many credit checking agencies.
-
- Logging in:
- ----------
- Call one of the Trans Union dialups at 300,E,7,1, Half
- Duplex. Such a dialup is 314-XXX-XXXX. After connecting, hit
- Ctrl-S. The system will echo back a 'GO ' and then awaits you to
- begin the procedure of entering the account and password, then
- mode, ie: S F1111,111,H,T. The system will then tell you what
- database you are logged on to, which is mostly insignificant for
- your use. To then pull a report, you would type the following: P
- JONES,JIM* 2600,STREET,CHICAGO,IL,60604** <Ctrl-S>. The name is
- Jim Jones, 2600 is his street address, street is the street name,
- Chicago is the city, IL is the state, 60604 is the zip.
-
- The Report:
- ----------
- The report will come out, and will look rather odd, with all
- types of notation. An example of a Visa card would be:
-
-
- SUB NAME/ACCT# SUB# OPEND HICR DTRP/TERM BAL/MAX.DEL PAY.PAT MOP
-
- CITIBANK B453411 3/87 $1000 9/87A $0 12111 R01
- 4128XXXXXXXXX $1500 5/87 $120
-
-
- Ok, Citibank is the issuing bank. B453411 is their subscriber
- code. 3/87 is when the account was opened. HICR is the most that
- has been spent on that card. 9/87 is when the report was last
- updated (usually monthly if active). $1000 is the credit line.
- $0 is the current balance. 12111 is the payment pattern, where
- 1=pays in 30 days and 2=pays in 60 days. R01 means that it is a
- "Revolving" account, meaning that he can make payments rather
- than pay the entire bill at once. 4128-etc is his account number
- (card number). $1500 is his credit line. 5/87 is when he was
- late on a payment last. $120 is the amount that he was late
- with.
-

- understand the reports better:
