Newspapers Reduce Bad Debt by Using Credit.net™ Business Credit Reports

Business Wire, June 20, 2007

OMAHA, Neb. -- Having quality business credit reports at your fingertips when you need it is a critical factor in reducing bad debt. Credit.net[TM], a service of infoUSA([R]) (NASDAQ:IUSA), the leading provider of business credit reports, allows customers like the Hartford Courant in Hartford, Connecticut, and the San Francisco Chronicle in San Francisco, California, to accurately research and verify potential advertiser information, as well as find delinquent accounts.

These papers employ Credit.net to determine the creditworthiness of new accounts with small to mid-range credit exposure. They also use the service to conduct commercial skip traces to reduce the amount of bad debt the newspapers incur.

"We had been searching for a product that would give us business information on our small to medium size companies with immediate response time. Credit.net turned our credit checking time into minutes, so we could focus more on our collection efforts," comments Janet Pose, Credit Manager of the Hartford Courant. "I also see the reports' potential use in sales prospecting. Credit.net has been an excellent value to our organization."

Ross Hawkins, Advertising Credit Manager of the San Francisco Chronicle commented, "Our bad debt write-offs have gone down tremendously, and we have saved vast amounts of time in processing credit application approvals and denials. Without a doubt, Credit.net does allow us to save on our bottom line."

Credit.net is a subscription-based service businesses use to make low-risk credit decisions, verify businesses, suppliers and vendors, conduct commercial skip traces, pre-qualify sales leads, and profile customers. For more information on Credit.net, contact Brian Wagner at 402-537-7898.
