They called me.
Only did it a couple times, wife was not happy... said I was going to cause a car accident with a crazed driver.

ask your accountant to misrepresent your finances and see what he says. But you obviously know more than I do, so not wanting to argue, I am glad we agree (remember to tell Ken Lay we said thanks!)

We use D&B and have found the info to be somewhat reliable but not completely accurate. I wish there was a great data base that one could buy that told you everything you needed to know in order to generate a lead list - you hear of one let me know! We looked at plenty and all seem pretty much the same.

So Nick, you work for them? You certainly seem eager to assign them status as some sort of legal arbiter of information. I assure you I'll be very precise and truthful when I talk to the IRS. I also assure you that the 70 IQ telemarketer that D&B sends my way will not get the same deference, nor information.

No, I am the New Accounts Manager for a multi Billion dollar company...we have rules to follow...using them is one. I completely understand why. I can tell you if you are in the automotive business and aren't listed by D&B, you are gonna have a hard time getting credit with your suppliers(and sometimes even harder time getting a chance to bid on contracts as this listing is often used by the people who decide to qualify your company for the contract). I bring the IRS up because when you get audited now, commercial suppliers are contacted sometimes, they reveiw all of the finaces..D@B is an industry standard way to see how a company is performing so it would only be natural to pull that too. I don't care what you say honestly, that is your perogative, I don't think it wise to disclose false information to a company that gathers financial info on a commercial level. Just tell them to go away...The way the laws are since Enron makes it hard to explain this move to a judge in any event (including Bankruptcy)don't you think? The president of a company has to assume PERSONAL responsibilty for the accounting practices of his company now under penalty of law. An audit would surely make the books "cooked " if they pull a D@B like you suggested. We don't do credit references for anyone...we refer them to D&B to avoid litigation if someone doesn't like what we have to say...Hope this makes it clear.

anyway...how about them Yankees....? :D

I lost your number Or rather don't have here with my records could you pm me or email with it some time?
