A company called "NCPS," for National Check Protection Service(s) aka
National Check and Data Protection Service(s)--(I believe the website
is at www.ncpsonline.com -- provides a service to banking institutions
whereby NCPS checks the background related to individuals who want to
open new checking accounts at these banks. The info NCPS provides
helps the bank to determine whether or not to open a new checking
account for an individual.  I am trying to obtain an exhaustive list
of the banks that use this service in the New England area (MA, RI,
CT, VT, NH, ME), but in particular, am most interested in MA and
secondly, NH, if that list is too extensive.  NCPS is located at 400
Hingham Street, Rockland, MA 02370 and their phone numbers are (781)
681-8075 and (800) 838-1980. Please try to get this listing to me
asap.  Thank you very much.

Request for Question Clarification by missy-ga on 18 Nov 2002 16:33 PST

Hi Henry,

Apparently someone was working on it, but ran into a brick wall. 
Unsurprising, that, as NCPS's customer database is proprietary
information - they won't part with it for any reason.

Missy,

Thanks very much for letting me know this.  Based on the work I was
doing with you on the other question, I wanted to close this quetion
out over 1.5 days ago, but could not because someone was "working on
it."  So, now I will close this one out and head over to the other so
I can settle that up with you.  Thanks very much -- you've been very
helpful!

Henry, Esq.

Dear Henry,

For several times since yesterday I tried to find information about
your subject with no success. As Missy said, it seems to be a case of
proprietary information. I don't think I'd make any progress so, for
my part, feel free to close it. Anyway, thank you for your
consideration for researcher's work.

Best regards,

Guillermo
