Adverse Status
Overview Code C: Account Closed and we also use this
code for accounts marked written off.
Code D: when the credit provider
suspects fraud and wants the account to be removed from display, while he
investigates. If the account is found to be correct, he would then need to
submit a manual amendment directly to all bureaus to bring the account back into
display.
Code E: Dee: All status codes I listed is
applicable to account types M and P, including E. This is applicable when
the credit provider grants the consumer extended terms and/ or restructures his
debt. When submitting status code E, payment type 06 becomes
mandatory.
Code L: Clients needs to be explained the
importance of correctly using status codes as this is part of the data
specification and thus part of compliance for them. Incorrect use of status
codes means inaccurate data submissions and this can be reported to the
regulator.
Code T: is left for interpretation as to how many
days prior to the term being reached is considered early settlement.
Code V: Not currently submitting. We are
adding this for the next update. Dee: When is the next update due.
Code W: should be used when credit writes off an
account and once the Code W is submitted there account must no longer be
submitted to the bureaus.
Personally, when asked this question,
I say if the account has been settled 30 days or more before the term reaches an
end. But it is up to each credit provider to decide the use.
If a Code W was submitted and the consumer
pays the full outstanding amount then only Code C can be submitted provided it
is still within 36 months of the last submissions.
Code U is used to remove
the Code L status code when there is a partial hand over, so the credit provider
only hands over only the amount that is in arrears and once the arrears
is paid
then the account is back in good standing and the consumer continues to pay on
the account until the end of the term is reached.
