2013-10-08 Thread need2know711
Hello all. We recently had a Trading partner start sending us ISA with a TA1 request. Anyone know of the benefit of a TA1 over a 997? Every once in a blue moon I will have a TP send a 997 requesting this , and I just ask them to turn it off. I don't have experience with the TA1, but from my
