General Rules For Addresses
 
  •  Most addresses consist of a street address, containing a street number,
    street name, street type, city name (spelled out), state code and postal/zip code.
  •  Include the complete address on all records; the absence of an address may
    cause a record to be bypassed.
  •  Do not report non-address information in the Address fields.
 
 Examples:
  •  Do not report a spouse name in the Address field.
  •  Do not report account description terminology, such as Fraud, Bankrupt,
     Charge-off, etc. in the Address field.
 
 For accurate reporting of addresses, refer to the U.S. Postal Service handbook.
