  • Patent number: 10937090
    Abstract: Certain consumers may not have a credit report and, thus, may not be able to enroll in a credit monitoring service. A credit report monitoring system requests a credit report of consumers that are attempting to enroll in a credit monitoring service. If no credit report is located for the consumer, a credit report of the consumer is automatically periodically requested by the system. When a credit report is later located, the consumer may continue with enrollment in a credit report monitoring service. In this way, the consumer is alerted of the (possibly fraudulent) creation of a credit report and is quickly able to enroll in a credit monitoring service.
