After June 25, 2011 the SSA began issuing numbers randomly—not following the historic pattern currently in use. Why? In part to help with identity theft and simply because some areas need more numbers than the current number assignment logic allows. The credit reports we provide have been affected because they use the distinct SSN pattern to assist in determining validity. Since this change in 2011 the credit reports will only be able to accurately validate SSNs issued before that date. How to Validate You can confirm directly with the applicant or ask the applicant to get confirmation from the Social Security Administration. It is not necessary to provide any documentation to CoreLogic-SafeRent this validation is for your file only. Alert Type Short Description Full Alert Description SSN ALERT Social Security Alert SSN ALERT-UNABLE TO DETERMINE-SSN MAY HAVE BEEN ISSUED AFTER June 2011 SSN ALERT Social Security Alert SSN BELONGED TO A PERSON REPORTED DECEASED Action APPLICANT MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF VALID SSN FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION APPLICANT MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF VALID SSN FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION SafeRent User Name/Password Reset When a new SafeRent username and password is created, before the user tries to run SafeRent reports in Voyager, they must first log into www.residentscreening.net and reset their password. This is one of the most common causes of report failure for first time users of the CoreLogic-SafeRent integration. You will be provided the following upon activation: User Name Generic Password Account Number CoreLogic-SafeRent Company Confidential 2014 34 SafeRent Q&A Q: Will I still have access to screen applications directly through SafeRent Website? A: No, all users are restricted you must utilizing the AMSI ESite interface workflow process. Q: Will I have access to other services on the SafeRent Website www.residentscreening.net A: Yes, services including Online Billing, Viewing Lease Decision Reports, Contacting Customer Service. NOTE: All billing is delivered online you must access www.residentscreening.com from the Services menu click Billing on between the 1st-3rd day of each month. Q: I made an error when I initially ran the applicant(s) how do I correct the error? A: All changes are to be made in ESite if a change to Name, DOB, SSN, Income or Address is performed the applicant(s) must be reprocessed using the Credit Check Screen to provide a revised Lease Decision. You will be charged for reprocessing if these changes are not made in the same day as the original processing. What if my change is to just the unit # or rent? Simply change the information in ESite there is no need to reprocess. Q: If a prospect has an issue with the decision what steps do I take? A: Provide the prospect with the Consumer Relations telephone number 1-888-333-2413. The prospect MUST initiate contact, this cannot be initiated by the property. What happens next? An investigation and/or verification will be completed dependent upon the request made by the applicant. The applicant can request that the property be notified of any changes made that affect their report outcome. No information will be provided to the property unless authorized by the applicant through Consumer Relations. How long does it take to get the result? Approx. 14-30 days dependent upon the request 2014 CoreLogic-SafeRent Confidential 35 Q: I ran an application with multiple roommates. One of the roommates was declined and/or has decided not to move in how do I remove the roommate? A: Once an application has been processed there is no way to remove an applicant. You must reprocess the remaining applicants to achieve the desired result. Step 1: If the initial screening resulted in a denial, then go into Lease Changes / Lease Dates and remove the initial denial (prior to rescreening). This will enable the new decision to be effective. If the initial screen resulted in an approval then client will probably want to go to Lease Changes / Lease Dates to remove the initial approval date (prior to rescreening), however this isn’t an absolute requirement. Q: I ran an application with multiple roommates. One roommate has decided not to move in and is being replaced by another roommate how do I process the additional roommate? A: Enter the new roommate as an occupant. Follow the leasing steps ensuring that all information is completed on the guest card and Occupants Tab. At the credit check screen mark all applicants as “”RESPONSIBLE”. Rescreen all applicants to receive an updated the Lease Decision. You can add additional occupants any time prior to the screening, you can also add occupants after the screening and request a new screening for those specific occupants. As with Step #1 above what to do to enable the new decision to be applied to the lease depends on the initial screening results. Once a move in has occurred the lease decision cannot be changed. 2014 CoreLogic-SafeRent Confidential 36 Common Errors -Special Characters and Punctuation Refrain from using any special characters when entering information in guest cards or credit application screens.
