Card Briefs: Infosource Purchases Provider of Court Data

First Data Infosource, a subsidiary of First Data Corp., announced that it has acquired Hogan Information Services, Oklahoma City.

Hogan Information is a wholesale provider of court public record data, including civil court judgments, evictions, and tax liens.

The purchase price was not disclosed.

Infosource provides marketing, credit, and collections information to financial, collections, and retail companies.

Mike Geppert, the director of marketing for Infosource, said Infosource has a volume of about 30 million transactions a month.

Mr. Geppert said the first product to arise from the acquisition will allow card issuers to segment their files before a mailing to weed out customers who recently filed for bankruptcy.
