I signed up with Transunion several months ago to do bpos, yet, I have not received one solicitation. Are they still a major player, and if so, how are they regarding work availability, and payment?

They pay fast and forms are fast - exterior orders are no photo and only one sold comp but they only pay $30 for exteriors. It takes me 10 minutes to do those. Interiors are 3 sold comps only, no photos but only pay $55. Their exteriors are easy money if the subject is located on your way to another job.

I have been doing bpos since April 2006; I have received at least 3 a week since I began with a high of 8 during one week. They pay regularly too, so it is nice "errand/gas" money when the check comes. For me they are a staple vendor.

Thanks, for the replies. I am wanting to replace Source One with another provider. I have had it with the extremely long forms and the low pay. Transunion sounds like a viable alternative.

I signed up with Transunion in January and just started getting orders last month. I've been getting 5-10 orders a week since then. Hang in there. I agree with everyone else here that their forms are easy and since they don't require pictures, you just drive by and look (I do take 1 picture just for my records). The pay is low, but it takes so much less time than the Source One $40 jobs that I'm sure I make more per hour doing the Transunion orders.

I agree with you, Transunion is great for bpos. I love their process and pay. I have noticed that some bpo companies are starting to lower their fees. For example I used to do bpos for MGIC and they WERE great, then they got someone new and I am no longer doing bpos for them. They are lowering their fees, expect quicker turn arounds and their technology isn't up to par.

Transunion is paying the best rate by far.

What is the best website to contact them?

Here's a nice page where they actually have a sample BPO report. But I can't figure out how to register with them to do BPOs.

I had to fill out forms and fax them in to sign up, but honestly I don't remember how I got the forms. It's been at least 6 months ago and apparently I'm getting old.

Transunion is paying the best by far, I agree with you Ashley

Are you guys in metro areas? I loved working for Transunion, but I had to stop doing them. They were expecting me to drive 30 miles one way for these $38 orders. They got upset when I wouldn't take anything that wasn't local, and took me out of the database.

OH REO, I'm also surprised everyone is saying how well they pay. Yes, their exteriors are really easy but only if they are REALLY close. They only pay me $30 for exteriors and $55 for interiors. I stopped doing interiors for them. It's just not worth it. The exteriors are easy money when I'm already in the neighborhood. I think TransUnion is mad at me right now anyway. Last week I accidentally hit accept on an order I didn't want. I immediately realized what I did. I e-mailed them, called them (no answer w/ my rep so I left a message) and I also put in the "homeowner delay" comments what I did and that I didn't want the order. Two days later, they asked when I was going to complete the order. I told them everything that happened and I haven't received an order since. Oh well. Not a big deal to me. Although they have the easiest drive by forms I've seen, the pay is super low so no real loss.

I wouldn't do Transunion orders if I lived in a rural area. I don't think I've driven more than 10 miles to do 1 of their orders and they are usually on the way to another one I'm doing. If I had to drive a long distance, it would not be worth it.
