Processing the Credit Bureau
The credit bureau data should be processed on a monthly basis. Running the processing of the credit bureau data generates the 24 month credit bureau history on each individual loan which is set up for credit bureau processing. The final month of this history is always the month prior to the date of account information, as each entry in the 24 month history indicates the loan’s past due status as of the last calendar date of that month. In addition, the credit bureau processing also creates the Metro 2 file that is to be sent to the credit bureaus. If after generating the data, you need to do overrides on individual accounts, and you need those overrides to be reflected in the Metro 2 file, you must re-run the processing after entering the overrides to create a new Metro 2 file.
