We receive a field from Equifax/Experian that indicates whether a consumer fraud alert or active duty status has been placed on the credit report.

These get translated into our Bloom bureau friendly fields as such:

| Bloom Alert                          | Equifax Code                                            | Experian Code |
|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|----------------|

| Active Duty                          | N: Active Duty Alert                                   | 29             |

| Initial + Active Duty                | Q: Active Duty Alert with Fraud Victim “Initial Alert” | 31             |
| Other Fraud/Security/Warning         | R: Active Duty Alert with Fraud Victim T (police report)<br>T: Fraud Victim (associated with trade) | 28             |

These only will be returned when the credit report returns a hit. No-hits/Frozen/Locked files do not return an alert response.
