Amber warnings - credit report???

Options
Does anybody know what an amber warning is on a credit report? Why is it put there and how (if possible) can you get rid of it?

    On ones where they use the traffic lights, amber I presume would mean there's something not great on there, but it's either quite a while ago or not too serious.

    Have you got the full credit report? Cos then you could see what this is likely to be relating to.

    Basically, someone I know has green blobs all over their credit report. They have been pursuing A & L for their bank charges and all of a sudden, amber blobs have appeared on the A&L bit of his credit report
