SELF HELP MAY BE BEST WHEN IT COMES TO CREDIT REPAIR AND CPN'S.
Validated Credit Profile Numbers or CPN's describe a marketing term developed by companies online attempting to sell people on the concept of second credit files. While second credit files are possible to obtain in numerous ways, giving out any personal credit information to have "validated" by anyone but yourself is dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.
The non-marketing term "Credit Profile Number" is a general term used to describe ANY nine digit number used for credit purposes. This is not a marketable commodity or specific number given to people by a government agency to have "verified".
Selling individuals credit profile numbers and validating it is an illegal practice. For any individual to act on behalf of you and your credit information you must sign over that authority in a formalized document giving that company the power of attorney. Any individual or company claiming to "validate" your "credit profile number" or anything else having to do with credit repair in general, who does not have this power of attorney expressly given by you in a formal document, is in violation of Federal law and should be reported to the appropriate agency.
There are many companies online that sell individual "E-Books" on the subject for under $60.00. If you must learn more about these concepts buy an E-Book and read it, do not let your personal credit information go to anyone selling "Credit Profile Numbers"
