Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enabling a user to select the types of data to be included in a credit reporting product, and for generating credit reports that are configured to be dynamically updated with additional data in response to user selections. In some embodiments, data selectable by a user for inclusion in a credit report or other product may include a variety of data not typically found on traditional credit reports.
Claims9
A computer-implemented method for generating a customizable credit report, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- as implemented by one or more computing devices configured with specific executable instructions,
- generating a user interface for display that includes one or more selectable options configured to enable a user to define a credit reporting product specification that identifies at least a portion of data to be included in at least one credit report, wherein the one or more selectable options include a plurality of data bands, wherein one or more of the plurality of data bands are selectable by the user for inclusion in the at least one credit report defined by the credit reporting product specification;
- receiving a user selection of at least one of the plurality of data bands, wherein the user selection indicates that credit data associated with the at least one data band should be included in credit reports generated based on the credit reporting product specification;
- storing, in an electronic data store, the credit reporting product specification defined by the user;
- and
- based at least in part on the credit reporting product specification defined by the user, generating at least one credit report for one or more individuals, wherein the at least one credit report is generated at least in part by retrieving credit data associated with the one or more individuals, wherein the retrieved credit data includes credit data associated with the at least one data band selected by the user.

A credit reporting system comprising:
- a credit database configured to store a plurality of records, wherein the plurality of records comprise credit data associated with each of a plurality of data bands;
- and
- a credit report generation system configured to electronically communicate with the database, the credit report generation system comprising:
- a product specification module configured to:
- generate a user interface for display that includes one or more selectable options configured to enable a user to define a credit reporting product specification that identifies at least a portion of data to be included in at least one credit report, wherein the one or more selectable options include a plurality of data bands, wherein one or more of the plurality of data bands are selectable by the user for inclusion in the at least one credit report defined by the credit reporting product specification;
- receive a user selection of at least one of the plurality of data bands, wherein the user selection indicates that credit data associated with the at least one data band should be included in credit reports generated based on the credit reporting product specification;
- and
- store, in an electronic data store, the credit reporting product specification defined by the user;
- and
- a request module configured to:
- retrieve the credit reporting product specification stored by the product specification module;
- and
- generate at least one credit report for one or more individuals, wherein the at least one credit report is generated at least in part by retrieving credit data associated with the one or more individuals from the credit database, wherein the retrieved credit data includes credit data associated with the at least one data band selected by the user.
