Wow. I didn't know this existed.

Do you know the data-source? Is it primarily from your self-declarations to your credit card company? Or do they have access to tax records?

The usual whoring out of personal info by third parties:

"The Work Number receives data directly from employers, payroll providers, or third-party administrators that choose to use The Work Number for employment verifications. We report your data as we receive it from these sources."

I opted out a long time ago after learning about them. I’d recommend doing so unless you like losing leverage in job negotiation. They get their info directly from companies (or indirectly through payroll companies like ADP). I recall there being a scary amount of detail, including the exact dollar amount of gross pay, and how much I put into my 401k/medical/etc on each paycheck.
