Account Status (Transferred)

[MarvBear]

REMINDER! Account Status 05 (Account transferred) to become obsolete for reporting Effective April 2022

 

As noted within Exhibit 4 (Account Status Codes) in the Credit Reporting Resource Guide (CRRG®) since 2020, Account Status 05 (Account Transferred) will become obsolete for reporting in April 2022.   Refer to the Transferred category within Exhibit 6 for a list of Special Comment Codes that should be used instead of Account Status 05. Refer to Frequently Asked Question & Answer 46 for guidance on reporting transferred accounts, and to Frequently Asked Question & Answer 47 for guidance on reporting sold accounts.   All guidance that relates to accounts being transferred or sold has previously been updated to advise that the Account Status should be reported as of the time of transfer or sale so no further updates will be made to existing CRRG® FAQs (46 & 47) as a result Account Status 05 being retired.   The Metro 2® Task Force recommends that data furnishers transition away from reporting Account Status 05 as soon as possible.   If there are any questions, please e-mail metro2info@cdiaonline.org.   Thank you, CDIA and Metro 2® Task Force

So only with a manual review by a human would an account be seen as transferred to another lender?

I'm new to this channel, sorry if I ask a stupid question.  what makes the difference with what code the account is being reported and in general what will help me if I know the codes they use, will it be easier with repair?

knowing the code isn't that useful and doesn't add value in the dispute process. It is merely a way to operationalize the stateus of a tradeline into a standard value such as this:

 

 

Installment	Revolving or Option Account	Open Account (30, 60, or 90-day account.)	Meaning
I0	R0	O0	Too new to rate
I1	R1	O1	Pays account as agreed
I2	R2	O2	Not more than two payments past due
I3	R3	O3	Not more than three payments past due
I4	R4	O4	Not more than four payments past due
I5	R5	O5	More than 120 days or four payments past due
I7	R7	O7	Making regular payments under WEP.
I8	R8	O8	Repossession
I9	R9	O9	Bad debt; placed for collection
IA	RA	OA	Account is inactive
IB	RB	OB	Lost or stolen card
IC	RC	OC	Contact member for status
ID	RD	OD	Refinanced or renewed
IE	RE	OE	Consumer deceased
IF	RF	OF	In financial counseling
IG	RG	OG	Foreclosure process started
IH	RH	OH	In WEP of other party
IJ	RJ	OJ	Adjustment pending
IM	RM	OM	Included in Chapter 13

Talking about codes, what's about the e-Oscar code what they use for disputes, is there anyway it could help me knowing it? Is it possible to open a dispute with a reason that wouldn't fit in any code, they should have to work on it manually?

The best way to try and force an issue is to send a well-written and tailored letter outlining the dispute.  NEVER dispute anything online or use a generic template unless you want to cement something to the report.  The online forms basically were written TO conform to easily coded dispute codes.  For those with legitimate issues, there ARE advantages to being placed into Special Handling, which can often come WITH and BECAUSE of properly written letters.

people covet manual intervention but all a human will do is decide which code your dispute falls into. Chances are great that the $8.80 an hour neanderthal will screw something up. There is nothing magical about getting human intervention in the dispute process.
