Predictive Payment Risk - D&B Commercial Credit Score (CCS)

The Commercial Credit Score (CCS) predicts the likelihood that a business will go 90-days or more delinquent with a trade credit provider within the next twelve months. It is developed from many commercial credit variables (200+), from a variety of sources - primarily trade credit payment history, with firmographic and public record data as well.

This product is also known as the D&B Delinquency Predictor.

See the Predictive Analytics page for more information on Dun & Bradstreet's risk scores.

  • April 17, 2015 (v5.0 + earlier SOAP & REST): The OrganizationDetail.OperatingStatusText field (equal to 403) should be used in place of OrganizationDetail.OutofBusinessIndicator. The latter may not be included in future versions of this service.

Lists of possible values (when present) are subject to change. Additional values not presented in this documentation may be delivered in the response and should be anticipated in any implementation.

Empty/NULL Values

A NULL returned for an element indicates that the information was not provided to D&B when the related data items were collected. The absence of a value for a particular item should not be considered indicative of any implied value (e.g., NULL for a boolean indicator is NOT the same as a value of 'false').

Currency Codes/Units

Whenever financial statement data is included in a response, each individual business element (ItemAmount) should be inspected for currency code and unit values (CurrencyISOAlpha3Code and UnitOfSize). If a given element does not include these attributes, the values provided in the statement header should be utilized.

Response Codes & Error Handling

Successful service requests will return a CM000 response code in the TransactionResult ResultID field. Otherwise, one of the D&B Direct standard response codes will be returned.

This operation may return the following response codes: CM001-CM005, CM007-CM012, CM014, CM017, CM018, PD001, PD003, PD005, PD006, PD015, PD016,PD019 and SC001-SC012.

IMPORTANT: PD006 code - Applicable only for US/CA cases when TradeUpIndicator="true" for Risk packets.

D&B Direct 2.0 API requests are provided on a metered basis; and may require entitlement prior to use in the production environment. In addition, a concurrency limit (QPS) is monitored to ensure that it is not exceeded. An error code will be returned in the event that a transaction is throttled.

Qualified usage (e.g., a successful response) is tracked and billed according to the terms & conditions of the customer's contract. The response codes CM000, CM010, PD002 and PD015 are considered successful. A built-in feature exists to prevent duplicate billing when multiple successful requests with the same D-U-N-S Number and product code are submitted on the same calendar day (which is based on Eastern Standard Time [GMT-5]).

Retrieving Archived Copies

An option exists to retain the results from all successful requests for this product in a Product Request Archive, which may be retrieved without incurring additional usage charges.

Product Notes

The Commercial Credit Score (CCS) predicts the likelihood of a business paying its bills in a severely delinquent manner (91 days or more past terms), obtaining legal relief from its creditors or ceasing operations without paying all creditors in full over the next 12 months.

D&B defines severe delinquency as a business with at least 10% of its payments 91 days or more past due, based on the information in D&B’s commercial database. The score ranges from 101 to 670, where 101 represent the highest probability and 670 represent the lowest possibility of delinquency.

The availability of certain scores delivered by this product may be limited due to a lack of sufficient company or industry specific data to perform the calculations.

This product is only available for organizations domiciled in the United States. If the trade up option was selected, and the headquarters is domiciled in another country, an error may be returned depending on the scope of the particular database being accessed by the product request.
