2.1.1 the legal system under which they were incorporated or established

Existing creditor codes should not be amended/deleted as there will be superseded creditor details retained within existing titles. If an amendment is considered necessary, a new creditor code should be requested however the old creditor code cannot be set to inactive as there may still be pending applications for which the old code is required.
