ADT - Verify with ADT

If you have a valid Application ID on the customer, and the customer is set with a monitoring company that is connected to the ADT integration you can click this button to verify that the name you have in SecurityTrax and the name ADT/Equifax shows are the same or if their is a discrepancy. If there is a discrepancy a warning will show on the Customer page from then on after you click that Verify with ADT button. This was implemented to help dealers know if they will have issues with the name on the contract well before you are actually sending the contract to the customer. 

 

Brinks - HART

HART is a credit report aggregator which provides access to all three of the main credit reporting bureaus. BRINKS dealers are required to use HART as the method of obtaining credit reports and the primary bureau used should be TransUnion. Each credit report generated through SecurityTrax creates a 'HART Transaction ID' which BRINKS receives behind the scenes and uses to obtain authorized secondary use of the credit report. 

To obtain HART credentials to enter into SecurityTrax, please download and follow the instructions found on the HART Account Setup Form.
