Payment Plan Calculator (TRA) List

Customer Services Functions Overview

Description

This screen is displayed, when the user clicks on the Add icon in the function bar of the Payment Plan Calculator (TRA) List screen or the “Click to add a TRA” link if there are no TRA’s. This screen is also displayed when the user selects the Customer Services Account Grid/ TRA Calculator function for an individual Loan/Receivable (see sample below). The user updates the information following the Data Entry guidelines and then clicks on the Save icon in the function bar (see Save Reset Guidelines for more details). The screen closes and the Payment Plan Calculator (TRA) List screen is refreshed listing the new TRA. To edit a TRA, click on the Magnifying Glass icon in the Payment Plan Calculator (TRA) List screen and the Edit TRA will be displayed.

Data Entry

Fields

Purpose\Usage

# of Months

The field will default to bring the selected Loan/Receivables current within 12 months of the next system due date.

First Payment

The installment due date for which the first payment is applicable.

The payment must be posted with effective date on or after this date.

Suspend Late Fees

You may choose to suspend late fees for the duration of the TRA.  The TRA is calculated with all that is past due at the time and all that will be due as of the forecast “as-of” date.  If a Customer is late with a TRA and late fees are not suspended, portions of the payment will be allocated towards late fees that weren’t in the initial calculation of the TRA.  If you elect to suspend late fees, all late fees due at the time the TRA is calculated will be capitalized, that is they will be added to the late fee balance.

Round Payment Up

Round up the payment amount to the nearest dollar

Use Regular Installment Amount

You may choose to use the Loan/Receivable's regular installment amount in calculating the TRA instead of what CRC would calculate to bring it current or pay it in full in the selected time-frame.  This allows you to account for the Loan/Receivable in the total payment without expecting any payment different than the regular installment amount and in turn is what will allow the subsequent payment posting to allocate properly against all Loan/Receivables, not just the ones that were recalculated.

Select Calculation Method

Choose to bring the Customer current, pay in full or use a set dollar amount.

NOTE: If activating a Rehab, only select bring current or pay in full.  To use set dollar amount, please go to Account menu and select individual Loan/Receivables for ‘Calculate TRA’ and activate Rehab.
