Question: For some creditors, there are multiple addresses for the same creditor name. Is it possible in the Common Creditor List (CCL) to show the city and state next to the name of the creditor? - Jeanne E. Hovenden, Jeanne E. Hovenden, PLLC

Answer: Yes, press F10 or click on the rotary card icon pictured next to or above the field to view the city and state next to the creditor name in the CCL window. Alternately, the other way to access the CCL is to begin typing the creditor name in any creditor entry screen, which displays the name of the creditor in the CCL list and the complete address for that entry above the list.
