KNOW YOUR OPTIONS - PRESCREEN OPT-OUT

A credit report will be initiated as part of the loan qualification process, typically within 48 hours of your application. This credit inquiry becomes a part of your credit file. Credit reporting agencies often sell the inquiry information to companies looking for leads. These companies may try to contact you directly upon receipt of the lead information.

While CapFed does not use this approach, nor are we the seller of the information, you may choose to opt-out to keep your inquiry information from being sold to other companies. It can take up to five business days to update your opt-out status, therefore you may wish to opt-out prior to making a loan application.
