Show HN: What if unpaid invoices hurt a company's credit score? Now they do

https://credote.com
4•elenabrooks•7mo ago
We built Credote to give freelancers and small businesses a way to report unpaid invoices, publicly.

When you upload an unpaid invoice, it hits the client’s public credit file instantly and lowers their score. They have 30 days to pay and remove the listing. If they don’t, it stays visible forever (even if they pay later).

Anyone can look up a business by name, domain, or email, for free

Works globally (a designer in Brazil can report a US startup)

No lawyers, no collection agencies, just fast accountability

We’ve already seen late-paying clients settle within hours after a listing goes live, especially when it’s indexed on Google.

We’d love your feedback on the product or use cases you think this would be most valuable for.

I have mixed feelings about this. I do like the idea of transparency on companies who do not pay. But I worry that it validates the overall concept of credit scores, which can be damaging to individuals. Maybe the same features with different terminology could resolve that?

The problem clients I've dealt with are not the one who do not pay, but the ones who just push the limits. I had a contract with one company who insisted on net 30 payments terms when we signed the contract, but would not even start their payments process until day 31, so in reality they were late every single month. I did not renew that contract, and will not work with them again, but I could have avoided them entirely if I knew how they operated. If this app removes listings when they pay, that hides such practices, doesn't it?

I also worry if one company controls this scoring. It seems ripe for misaligned incentives if the company that tracks and reports scores also monetizes the process. I didn't see any details when skimming the web site to see if this is truly a problem or not, but clarity on the integrity of the process would be important if you carry this forward.

One final note - I tried a couple searches and it just said the company was not found. That removes a ton of confidence that you have enough data to try this. Even if you have no records on a company, make the effort to pull lists of companies in, so you can confirm that you are aware of what companies exist, but have no records on file related to them.

Appreciate the thoughtful critique, really helpful as we evolve this.

1. On “credit scores” You're right: we do assign a Credote Score. But it's not opaque like a FICO. It's directly tied to reported unpaid invoices, think of it more like a dynamic public ledger than a behavioral prediction. That said, we’re exploring how to add more nuance (e.g. disputed vs. resolved vs. settled late) without sanitizing the public record.

2. On verification & abuse risk Every report goes through automated fraud checks, invoice validation, and email domain verification. We don’t manually review all submissions, but businesses can dispute any listing easily (similar to a credit card chargeback). Once disputed, the listing is marked accordingly while we request supporting documentation.

3. On missing companies in search We’ve just upgraded search — it works best by company domain (e.g. @acme.com). We’ll soon show “stub” profiles even if there are no reports yet, to solve exactly what you’re describing.

This kind of feedback is exactly what we need, thanks again for pushing on the weak spots.
