    L002L1 New Value Missing for Indicated Change

    The L1 Change Indicator says a value changed but the new value field is blank

    Affected Field
    L1 New Consumer Account Number

    Description

    If the L1 Change Indicator is 1 or 3, the New Consumer Account Number must be present; if it is 2 or 3, the New Identification Number must be present. A change indicator with an empty new-value field is rejected because the bureau has nothing to update the history to.

    Common Causes

    • Indicator set without populating the new value
    • New value mapped to the wrong field

    How to Fix

    1. 1Populate the new value field that matches the change indicator
    2. 2Verify account-number vs identification-number changes are not swapped
