Answer

You don't.

Credit information is highly restricted by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. An individual or company accessing someone's credit without a legally authorized purpose is subject to lawsuit, fines and civil sanction. Additionally, credit reporting agencies are required by law to ensure that their clients have a permissable purpose to access credit. They are restricted by the same law not to grant client status to juat anyone.
