Automated Batch Interface
The Batch Interface is an exciting product offering that allows
Data Furnishers with large volumes of Automated Consumer Dispute
Verification (ACDV) requests to receive a batch file in an XML
format. Once the file is delivered, each Data Furnisher can further
automate the development of responses to ACDVs. The development
effort by the Data Furnisher to achieve the benefits of the Batch
Interface, will vary depending on the Data Furnishers internal
business and compliance requirements. For example, one Data
Furnisher may choose to auto-populate the response fields
automatically for staff review prior to submission. This business
plan would save your staff the time and potential errors of data
entry. Another Data Furnisher may elect to automate only certain
response types. For example, A Data Furnisher might only automate
"delete" responses and require that staff review responses on all
other disputes.
The Batch Interface uses the Connect:Direct software package and
Virtual Private Networks (VPNS) to provide maximum data integrity
for the file transfers. Each DF that is to use the Batch Interface
must be able to communicate with the e-OSCAR data center using
Connect:Direct. The Connect:Direct software at the DF facility must
be configured to enable the agreed disposition of files on receipt
and the agreed action to be taken on completion of the file
transfer.
- THE BATCH INTERFACE WILL GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO AUTOMATE RESPONSES TO CONSUMER DISPUTE VERIFICATIONS AND WILL OFFER YOUR COMPANY THE OPTIONS TO:
- Automate to whatever degree that satisfies your company's business and compliance requirements.
- Improve the level of service that you are providing to your customer.
- Improve the quality of your responses.
Please note: The Batch Interface is not an alternative to the regular activity reporting process. e-OSCAR may not be used to add or create a record on a consumer's file or as substitute for "in-cycle" reporting to the credit bureaus. The Batch Interface is a means for Data Furnishers to respond to ACDV requests and to develop in-house automation of some or part of their responses to the Credit Reporting Agencies and is not available for the submission of AUDs.
