[SBF]

You have to sign up for d and b and its free ...so wrong again

other ways to see the info and other services as well

Why in the F are you being so combative?!?! I hope this won't initiate another strike from you.. but here goes nothing.
D&B is one of the original business credit reporting services.. D&B captures a new businesses info when that business registers to be corp, LLC or other entity type. Yes, it's true a business can voluntarily sign up.. but it's also true that they can be unknowingly added into their data base. D&B would love it if every business signed up.. but that's not how they get most of their data. If a business wants to have more accurate financial data reported, then yes, they need to sign up or claim ownership to the business that D&B has info on..

Try to stay calm.
