Referral Partner Program

We Do the Work, You Get the Credit™

Protect Your Pipeline. Stay Connected. Create More Opportunity.

Give clients who are not ready today a trusted credit-education resource instead of losing the relationship. CSD helps them understand their credit, keeps the referral connected to you, and can reconnect them with you when appropriate. Eligible partners may also opt in to receive matched consumer opportunities.

Your Referral. Our Support. Your Relationship.

See how the CSD Referral Partner Program helps you support clients who may not be ready today, track the relationship through your Partner Dashboard, and stay positioned to reconnect when the consumer is ready for the next step.

Two Ways the CSD Partnership Creates Value

PROTECT THE BUSINESS YOU ALREADY HAVE. OPEN THE DOOR TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES.

Protect & Recover Your Existing Pipeline

Refer a client who is not ready today without losing the relationship. The referral stays attributed to you, you can track safe operational progress in your dashboard, and CSD can help reconnect the consumer with you when appropriate and authorized.

Optional New Consumer Opportunities

When a CSD consumer asks to be connected with a professional, eligible partners who opt in to the Opportunity Network may receive a matching opportunity based on profession, service area, selected categories, and availability. Opportunity volume is never guaranteed.

What CSD Provides to Referred Consumers

EDUCATION. REVIEW. DOCUMENTATION. CLEAR NEXT STEPS.

  • Consumer credit education in plain language
  • Detailed credit-report review
  • Identification of information that may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, duplicated, or unverifiable
  • Education on consumer rights and dispute options
  • Help organizing supporting documents and records
  • Clear next-step guidance based on the consumer’s individual credit-report situation

From Referral to Return: How the CSD Partner Process Works

You refer the relationship. CSD supports the consumer. You stay connected throughout the journey.

  1. 1

    Refer Your Client

    Submit the referral through your protected partner form or personal referral link. The consumer must authorize CSD to contact them.

  2. 2

    CSD Contacts the Consumer

    We reach out using the consumer’s preferred contact method, explain the evaluation process, and answer initial questions.

  3. 3

    Free Credit Evaluation

    CSD reviews the consumer’s credit-report situation and helps them understand the information affecting their financial goals. There is no obligation to enroll.

  4. 4

    The Consumer Reviews Their Options

    We explain appropriate next steps, consumer-rights information, and available CSD services. The consumer decides whether and how they want to proceed.

  5. 5

    CSD Works With the Consumer

    If the consumer chooses to move forward, CSD manages the applicable credit education, report review, documentation, and dispute-support process.

  6. 6

    You Track the Relationship

    Your Partner Dashboard shows safe operational updates—Referred, Contacted, Evaluated, and Working With CSD—without exposing private credit details.

  7. 7

    Ready for Partner Follow-Up

    When appropriate and with the consumer’s authorization, CSD marks the referral Ready for Partner Follow-Up and can help reconnect the consumer with you. The dashboard can then show Returned to You.

Why Professionals Choose CSD as a Referral Resource

PROTECT YOUR REPUTATION WHILE HELPING CLIENTS MOVE FORWARD.

Protect Your Reputation

Your referral is handled through a professional, consumer-focused process designed to complement the relationship you have already built.

Free, No-Pressure First Step

Every referred consumer can begin with a complimentary credit-report evaluation before deciding whether additional CSD services are appropriate. There is no obligation to enroll.

Clear Expectations

We explain what may—and may not—be appropriate based on the consumer’s reports. We do not promise score increases, deletions, financing approvals, or outcomes.

We Respect the Relationship

CSD supports the credit-report side of the journey. We do not replace the referring professional or shop that partner’s referred consumer to competing professionals.

Our Commitment to Your Referrals

“CSD acts as an additional consumer-credit education and credit-report review resource for your team. We focus on clear expectations, legitimate next steps, protected information, and a structured return-to-partner workflow when the consumer is ready and authorizes follow-up.”

What You Receive as a CSD Partner

REAL TOOLS FOR REFERRALS, VISIBILITY, FOLLOW-UP, AND GROWTH.

Your partner account is designed to make the handoff easier to manage and give you better visibility into what happens after you refer someone to CSD.

Protected Partner Dashboard

Use one place to manage your partner profile, referral activity, Opportunity Network preferences, and safe operational updates.

Personal Referral Link

Share your unique CSD evaluation link so eligible consumer submissions can be attributed back to your partner account.

Referral Pipeline Tracking

See the relationship move through Referred, Contacted, Evaluated, Working With CSD, Ready for Partner Follow-Up, and Returned to You.

Return-to-Partner Alerts

When appropriate and authorized by the consumer, CSD can notify you that a referred client is ready for partner follow-up.

Bilingual Partner Materials

Access English and Spanish partner resources, downloadable flyers, and a protected referral form for active partners.

Optional Opportunity Network

Opt in to receive consumer-requested opportunities that may match your profession, selected categories, service areas, and current availability.

CSD Opportunity Network

AN OPTIONAL WAY TO RECEIVE NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.

When a CSD consumer asks to be connected with a professional, CSD may match that consumer with an eligible participating partner. The consumer must authorize the connection before contact information is released.

CSD does not guarantee a minimum number of opportunities, closings, approvals, or revenue. Partners can pause opportunity delivery at any time.
  1. 1

    Opt in and choose the opportunity categories you want.

  2. 2

    Tell us the cities, counties, states, or service areas you cover.

  3. 3

    CSD assigns a matching, consented opportunity when one is available.

  4. 4

    Review it in your dashboard. Accept it to unlock the consumer’s approved contact information.

  5. 5

    Update the opportunity as contacted or closed so the relationship can be tracked responsibly.

How Compensation Works

The standard CSD professional partner program is built around client retention, return-to-partner visibility, partner tools, and optional opportunity access—not pay-per-referral compensation.

Professional Referral Partners

For mortgage-related settlement-service business involving federally related mortgage loans, CSD does not pay referral fees, kickbacks, commissions, or other things of value for the referral.

Separate Affiliate / Marketing Arrangements

CSD may separately approve written affiliate or marketing arrangements for eligible non-mortgage activities where compensation is legally permitted and tied to actual approved marketing services. Participation, eligibility, compensation, and terms are not automatic and are not part of the standard professional referral program.

What We Do Not Promise

TRANSPARENCY BUILDS TRUST.

  • No guaranteed increase in credit scores
  • No guarantee that accounts or items will be deleted
  • No guarantee of financing approval
  • We do not remove accurate, current, and verifiable information simply because it is negative
