Okay, I matched the format of my phone number exactly (no parenthesis), I corrected the year in which my business had been established, removed the dash from my EIN, and even (on a long shot theory from the forums) made sure my business address and location were correct in Google Maps. After reading about the long histoy of this problem in the forums, I have concluded that the most likely reason for the "Identification Error" message is that PPWC is being dishonest in its explanation for the failure of the loan application process - rather than just saying we are not offering a loan to you at this point in time, they are claiming its some kind of glitch in the system. This is particularly frustrating as I took them at their word and bent over backwards trying to "correct" my business information, even so far as a trip to my local comptrollers office to make sure my corporate status was in order. I altered my franchise home office location and even matched up the designated agent name through the state comptroller, paying an expedite fee in the process. I had come to think of PPWC as a reliable souce of funding and was left high and dry after paying off my previous loan at the 25% re-payment level. Had I known this was a possibility, I would have paced the loan repayment out at a less aggressive level. Bottom line: If PPWC is denying my loan, they should say so - not waste my time by sending me down some rabbit hole when I could be exploring other funding options.
