Hi minimad1970, Your file is showing this account to be still in default. Things I know are the information in red, still learning myself and not sure what the Effective date should be or the Insight last updated date means either tbh. On mine I have this Supplementary flag as partial not sure if this is the norm or not hopefully a poster can advise us both further on this.
