Delinquent Method |
Indicates the default method used for delinquency calculation for specific loan types. You can override this value on the New Loan window and Loans - Delinquency tab for an individual loan. The valid options are: D - Delinquency Method D. Delinquency Method D is based on the due date. System default. B - Delinquency Method B. Delinquency Method B is based on the loans amortization schedule on the Loans Amortization tab. Not valid for payment type 007. Delinquency Method B is the acceptable method for calculating delinquency on closed end loans with a term greater than 15 years. Delinquency Method B recognizes the time value of money. There is a significant difference in the calculations. Method B uses an amortization schedule; therefore, the delinquency calculation compares the principal balance of the loan's current status to the amortization schedule. If the actual loan balance is greater than the loan balance of the amortization schedule, the loan is then considered delinquent. Once it is determined there are principal funds in arrears, the delinquent interest is then added to the balance to arrive at the total delinquent amount, which is the true time value of money. Changing this field from B to D or from D to B will impact delinquency calculations. If the Automated Collections field specifies B or P on the Loan Profiles - Collections/Late Charges tab, the Delinquent Method field must specify B.
