Credit Bureau Failover Results Displayed in CUDL3 and Lending 360
The manner in which credit bureau failover results are displayed in CUDL3 and Lending 360 is not controlled by Decision Manager. The information below shows the display method at the time of the 2012.1 Decision Manager release. Display in CUDL3 and Lending 360 may change after this initial release.
1. When credit bureau failover occurs, the alert “Credit Failover Occurred” is displayed in the application results. Below are examples from CUDL3 and Lending 360.
CUDL3 display of “Credit Failover Occurred” alert on the Loan Application Worksheet
CUDL3 display of “Credit Failover Occurred” alert on the Application Summary

2. When credit bureau failover occurs, the reasons for failover are displayed in the application results. Below are examples from CUDL3 and Lending 360.
In CUDL3, a new section titled “Credit Request Log” shows the status of each credit bureau inquiry. For each credit bureau, the log identifies the failover reasons or indicates the credit bureau was “Used in Decisioning”. The examples below show the text that will be displayed for each failover reason.
In Lending 360, the credit failover reasons are displayed in the Application Summary > Decision History.

3. When credit bureau failover occurs, the credit reports from each credit bureau accessed will be available for display in CUDL3 and Lending 360. The credit reports are grouped into two sections:
• | Used in Decisioning: displays the credit reports that were evaluated in the decision process |
• | Failover Credit Reports: displays the credit reports that resulted in failover |
CUDL3 display of the credit reports used in decisioning
CUDL3 display of the failover credit reports
Lending 360 display of credit reports used in decisioning

In both CUDL3 and Lending 360, if the credit bureau responds with an error relative to the inquiry data, the error message will be displayed in place of the credit report.
In both CUDL3 and Lending 360, if the credit inquiry results in “no response” from the credit bureau, the credit report form will display with no data.
