    Utilization and payments

    Ensure limits and balances reflect the same cycle date and that promotional terms (e.g., deferrals) are handled through appropriate fields. Payment history is particularly useful for card products.

    Promotions and fees

    Handle deferred interest or promo APRs without masking delinquency. Keep scheduled vs. actual payments clean to avoid mis-signaling affordability.

    Line management

    Synchronize credit limit changes promptly. If a limit drop occurs, ensure utilization and adverse action processes remain compliant and consumer communications are consistent.
