Charging for updated credit reports

Answered by: 

Question: 
Long ago, I was told by our credit report provider that we can't charge for credit updates for our mortgage customers relating to originating a mortgage. I see that FCRA prohibits charging for rescoring but if a tradeline needs to be updated or a non-reporting account needs to be verified, can we do a changed circumstance and charge the customer?
Answer: 

I guess I am confused. Exactly what do you think a "rapid rescore" is, if it does not involve an error on the current credit report?
