Validation Rule changes to form BTL

We would like to inform reporters of upcoming changes to the validation rules we apply to form BTL on 31/07/2020. These changes will necessitate a version of the reporting schema.

Credit score – The validation rules have been relaxed to allow credit scores between 0 and 2000. Reporters amending their data to fit the existing validations should start reporting actual credit scores as soon as possible.

Initial gross interest rate – the validation rule for reported rates to be at 0 or above has been removed.

Stressed rate - the validation rule for reported rates to be at 0 or above has been removed.
