Your Borrowers Are Being Poached. Here’s How to Stop It.

When a borrower applies for a mortgage, the credit bureaus sell that inquiry as a trigger lead to competing lenders within hours. Trigger Proof gives your team the knowledge and step-by-step guidance to enroll borrowers in the national opt-out program — before competitors can call.

Bureau Opt-Out Guidance

Our program walks your team through enrolling borrowers in the national credit bureau opt-out process — removing them from trigger lead lists before competitors receive the data.

Protect Your Pipeline

Once enrolled, borrowers stop receiving competing mortgage solicitations that can derail your deal and erode borrower trust mid-process.

Fast Enrollment Guidance

The Trigger Proof program equips your team to act quickly — typically before competing lenders even receive trigger lead data from the bureaus.

All Three Bureaus Covered

Trigger Proof guidance covers Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion opt-out enrollment — so no bureau-generated trigger lead gets through.

Zero Credit Score Impact

The opt-out enrollment process has zero effect on your borrower’s credit profile or FICO® scores.

Free for CTI Members

Trigger Proof is available exclusively to Credit Technologies members as part of your credit reporting relationship — at no extra cost.
