Mason is leading consumers to believe that their credit reports are not being accessed because they only get the last four digits of your social security number not the whole number. Then they use your address information to access your credit bureau. After you give them initial information which is the last four digits of your social and your home address. Mason then through follow up phone calls as they delay your order "for processing" ask you for the additional information of where you work, for how long and your employers phone number leading you to believe that no credit bureau will be pulled. They then after getting more information from you end up just using that information to pull a credit bureau. They are knowingly misleading people to give up their information gradually without actually telling you they are going to access your credit report. Totally disappointing in the information acquisition process. THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN REALITY UNLESS YOU TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE THEM EXPLAIN THEIR PROCESS WHICH THEY ARE CONVENIENTLY EVASIVE ABOUT AND UNWILLING TO GIVE YOU DIRECT ANSWERS FOR. BE PREPARED TO HAVE YOUR CREDIT BUREAU PULLED AND HAVE AN INQUIRY ON IT EVENTHOUGH THE PRESENTATION OF THEIR WEBSITE LEADS YOU TO BELIEVE THAT THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER ARE NEEDED IMPLYING NO CREDIT REPORT CHECK! IN REALITY THEY DO CREDIT REPORT CHECKS WITHOUT BEING UP FRONT ABOUT IT.
