Cogent Road Tool Detects Credit Piggybacking
Cogent Road has launched an automated tool for detecting if a credit score has been artificially inflated due to questionable or untrustworthy "authorized user" accounts within the borrower's profile. This process is known as "piggybacking," because the borrower's credit score "piggybacks" on the seasoning and payment history of the actual card holder. The tool is available free of charge to Cogent Road's existing Funding Suite clients. The application examines credit reports to detect the probability that a borrower's credit score is being artificially manipulated based on a different individual's payment history.
