I need to refer my clients to a site to get their credit report with the three scores. I see that you do that but will they be able to email me a copy and print it out if they want to?

Q:  I need to refer my clients to a site to get their credit report with the three scores. I see that you do that but will they be able to email me a copy and print it out if they want to?

A: Several of our top rated credit report monitoring services offer 3-bureau credit report monitoring and scores, including Identity Guard.  Because this is sensitive data, your clients should sign up themselves.  Once they are a member, they can print out all their credit reports and scores.

If they want, they can also copy the credit information they see onscreen, paste it into an email and email it to you.  I would recommend they use encrypted email to do this though, because if for some reason the email gets into the wrong hands the information could be used for evil.  A better method of getting the information to you might be to print out the report and the fax it over.
