About eCredable
eCredable is an alternative Credit Reporting Agency that helps consumers demonstrate their creditworthiness to prospective creditors. Launched in 2009, eCredable allows creditors to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), which requires any creditor using credit related information to assess the creditworthiness of an individual to consider any similar payment information the consumer puts forth to demonstrate their creditworthiness. Our patent-pending credit information gathering product allows consumers to record their monthly bill payment accounts, request verification of their payment history, and create a verified AMP Credit Report® that meets all financial industry standards. The consumer can then share their AMP Credit Report® and AMP Credit Rating® with any potential creditor, service provider or employer. eCredable uses a unique AMP Credit Rating ® that shows the consumer, and the potential creditor, where the consumer’s credit rating stands on a clear, straightforward scale of A to F. Our AMP Credit Rating® provides a powerful tool to assist the consumer in understanding the importance of making payments on time. AMP stands for All My Payments.
