SERVICE AGREEMENT
FOR
CONSUMER RESALE
This Agreement is made this 31 day of August 1999, by and between Credit
Comm. Services (hereinafter referred to as "Customer") and Trans Union
Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Trans Union") to provide for credit
reporting services.
WHEREAS, Customer is in the business of providing consumer reports and
other related services to consumers; and
WHEREAS, Customer desires to make Trans Union consumer credit reports and
other services available to consumers for a fee.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual benefits
expressed herein, the parties agree as follows:
I. Customer Responsibilities
A. Customer shall obtain Trans Union consumer reports in order to market
the reports, with added services, to consumers, as individual reports or as
merged reports with the like reports received from other consumer reporting
agencies, and for no other purpose. Customer recognizes that the Federal Fair
Credit Reporting Act prohibits obtaining consumer reports under false
pretenses, and hereby certifies that it shall obtain reports only for the
purpose stated herein. All advertising or promotional materials used to promote
the sale of credit reports to consumers shall be submitted to Trans Union for
prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
B. Customer shall not resell reports or information from reports
obtained from Trans Union to anyone other than the subject of the report.
Customer shall maintain strict identification systems to assure that no report
or information therefrom is returned or provided to anyone other than the
subject of the report. If it determines that any report or information
therefrom as provided to a party other than the subject of the report, it shall
immediately notify Trans Union.
C. Customer may advertise its services on the internet or another
proprietary computer system. However, reports may not be sold or delivered over
a computer network. In the event Customer believes that adequate security has
been established to permit on line network or internet access, with no risk of
a party other than the appropriate party obtaining an individual's consumer
report, Customer shall apply to Trans Union for approval of its security
procedures, Approval must then be obtained from Trans Union's computer access
Security Department, in writing, before any such deliveries of consumer reports
can occur. Failure to obtain such prior approval shall result in termination of
this Agreement.

than is permitted by federal or state law, and no more than $8.00 to consumers
residing in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut,
Florida, Idaho, Illinois,
<PAGE>
Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Ohio,

intended to restrict Customer's right to sell additional services or features,
including explanatory material, for added fees, or to bundle Trans Union's
report with that from other consumer reporting agencies for additional fees.
E. Customer shall establish a toll free telephone line for consumers to
call with questions regarding their reports obtained from Customer, and shall
provide adequate staffing to provide satisfactory telephone service to
consumers. All personnel of Customer interfacing with consumers shall have
adequate training according to the standards established for consumer
interviewers by the Associated Credit Bureaus.
F. Trans Union reserves the right to terminated this Agreement at any
time with or without notice, if any reports are purchased by Customer for
purposes other than the purposes stated herein, or if the provisions of this
Agreement, and requirements on Customer are not performed.

his or her Trans Union consumer report, the parties shall coordinate their
activities, such that the information can be reinvestigated by Trans Union and
corrected.
