Experian Credit Score Import Experian Import (Application 3d4fd68e-c8b6-461c-8a5f-b6dbc46a0db) Overview: The Experian Import application reads in an Experian file containing credit scores and applies the scores to the Person Credit Score history in DNA. The application is designed to read an export file, created by the Experian Export DNA application, which has been sent to Experian, processed, and returned to the financial institution. Key Benefits: This application allows financial institutions to easily keep person credit score histories up-to-date when used in conjunction with the Experian Export DNA application. Processing: The application reads in a file from Experian and maintains each person s credit score history in DNA. As each record is read the application looks for an existing credit score for the person, score date, and Servicer Organization. If a record is found and the existing credit score is the same as the credit score in the file then the record is skipped. Otherwise the application passes the social security number, the credit score, the score date, and the Servicer Organization into the Core API which handles the maintenance. All activity is recorded. If the Print Detail YN parameter is set to Y then all records that are processed are printed to the report. If set to N the report will only display records with error conditions. Credit score histories can be found in DNA under Relationships, Maintenance, Person/Member, Additional, Credit Score Page 1 of 11
Parameters: Parameter Code (how used) Required Default Servicer Organization SORG Used to identify the Experian Organization in DNA Yes None RptOnly_YN RPT Used to indicate whether application should insert/update records, or only report on what will happen. No Y External File Name EXFN The name of the file to be imported. Yes None External File Path EXFP The path to the file to be imported. Yes None Print Detail YN PDYN If set to Y (Yes) then all detail rows are printed to the report. If set to N (No) then only records that failed are displayed. No N Variables: None Scheduling: The application is run after a credit score file created by the Experian Export DNA application has been returned from Experian. Page 2 of 11
Reports: The report shows summary counts of the actions taken by the application, and shows the details for all records, or only records that are not able to be created or updated. This choice is made by using the Print Detail YN parameter. Since credit score files can contain tens of thousands of records a financial institution may choose to only have errors shown on the report. Field Listing: Field Name Address SSN DOB Score Score Date Full name (First Name, Middle Initial, Last Name, and Suffix combined) from input file Address (Address 1, Address 2, City, State, Zip combined) from input file Social Security Number from input file Date of Birth from input file Credit Score from input file Credit Score Date from input file Page 3 of 11

Field Person records not found in the database Records with a blank score or invalid score date Skipped - record already exists (identical credit score for person, effective date, and credit organization) Records processed by the application Count of records that were skipped due to the person record not being found in the DNA database. This is common if an export file is created in one DNA database and the return file is being tested in another DNA database. Count of records with no score or an invalid date Count of records skipped due to the fact that they already exist Total Count of record processed. Should be equivalent to the Records read in from file value Input File Layout Fixed Width: The input file is a fixed width file. The file does not have a header row. Data returned from Experian is appended to the file sent, and starts with FILLER01 (Person Number through Date of Birth are from the file that was sent). Experian appends a large number of columns that contain data which could be used by a financial institution if desired. The Experian Import application only uses two: T_SCORE_VALUE and TRADE_DATE (the credit score returned and the score date).
