    details are sets of diagnostic Risk Factor Reason Codes (please refer 
	to the table below).  
    Reason codes (also known as "Action Codes") are somewhat of an enigma to most consumers, as well as many 
	poorly-trained credit suppliers. Reason Codes are intended to give the credit report 
    reviewer a rudimentary explanation of the score at the precise 
	moment that it was pulled.  As your credit history builds, these codes 
	will reflect changes that occur within your credit profile.  I have added 
	emphasis for educational purposes.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://scottsecor.com/credit/pages/MC_reasons.html">The three major credit reporting agencies (CRAs) all utilize credit
