How to Evaluate a Service Bureau

Other hygiene products, such as LACS, DSF(2) and proprietary hygiene products, also should be used. They differ from one service bureau to another. Since many bureaus will charge these products per hit, you’ll get the greatest benefits if you can make the corrections to your own housefile. This lowers the probability of paying for the same changes on the same records. When running the test, ask for the same data (such as the ZIP+4 corrections or NCOA changes) so you easily can compare which provider is correcting more records.
