Credit reporting is a data system. Learn how its fields work together.

Metro 2 is an industry reporting format used by furnishers. A meaningful review examines the full field relationship rather than searching for isolated codes.

What this strategy examines

  • Account type, portfolio type, terms, status, payment rating, balance, and amount past due
  • Date opened, date of first delinquency, date closed, and reporting period
  • Payment-history profile and special comment relationships
  • Consumer-information and compliance-condition fields
