Liens, Judgments, Bankruptcies + Credit (LJB+C)
Struggling to obtain validated lien, judgment, and bankruptcy records?
The Liens, Judgments, Bankruptcies + Credit solution (LJB+C) provides data to enable risk assessment and compliance with FINRA.
Sterling fills the gap by providing a report with the following:
- Liens
- Judgments
- Bankruptcies
- Credit Report
With the implementation of National Consumer Assistance Plan (NCAP)-enhanced standards for public records, all civil judgments and most tax liens were removed from credit reports. Financial institutions struggle to obtain compliant information for risk assessment and reporting to FINRA.
Liens, Judgments, Bankruptcies + Credit empowers financial institutions to:
Screen Candidates and Employees
Leverage LJB+C to assess risk associated with new hires and existing employees, and determine whether there is need to disqualify them from performing securities-related functions or establish supervisory controls for safety and security.
Proactively Manage Screening Information Required by FINRA
Proactively manage reporting of liens, judgments, and bankruptcies required by FINRA, rather than defensively responding to inquiries from regulators, resulting in pressure and potential disciplinary actions and fines.
