INFORMATIVE RESEARCH LAUNCHES FREE FRAUD PREVENTION TOOL

GARDEN GROVE, CALIF., JANUARY 17, 2007 - Informative Research, a leading provider of credit and mortgage-related information, today introduced the Credit Score Verifier, a free fraud prevention utility developed to reduce lender risk and loan fallout.

The Credit Score Verifier, a proprietary Web-based utility developed by Informative Research to confirm the authenticity of a credit score, enables a lender, with basic report number information, to verify credit scores reported by any or all of the repositories prior to undergoing the time and expense of underwriting the file or ordering a back-up credit report.

"With the increasing popularity of non-traditional loan types that allow for no documentation and stated incomes, there is always the potential for fraudulent activity," said Penny Gonzalez, director of operations of Informative Research. "This free service is a quick way to confirm that a credit score is accurate, alleviating the lender of any thought that the paper copy they hold in their hand may have been altered."

The Credit Score Verifier, formerly called Credit Score Validator, was enhanced and re-launched by Informative Research as part of the company's ongoing effort to provide lenders with the latest in fraud protection tools.

"We're constantly developing new technological solutions to make conducting business easier for our customers," said Berta Lipovac, assistant director information systems of Informative Research. "We anticipate that our customers will find this value-added service, convenient and easy to use. It will save them valuable time and energy."

The Credit Score Verifier is available free of charge to all Informative Research Customers. It can be accessed through the company's Web site on the home page at www.informativeresearch.com, by clicking http://verify.informativeresearch.com/ScoreVerifier/scoreverifier.aspx.
