4.14 Customer Service screen’s Deficiency tab

The Deficiency screen enables you to record information about deficiency accounts i.e. accounts that are no longer collectable. You can create and track specific details on status of the charged-off account for timely follow-up and analysis. You can also track each stage of the deficiency process based on its follow-up date and record information using the Details and Tracking sections.

The Add button enables you to create a new deficiency record with different start and end dates. You can also use the Deficiency Details screen to view deficiency information. The Current field in Deficiency Details section indicates the current bankruptcy details. To view the balance of a charged off account, click the Transaction History tab on Customer Service screen, then click Balances. On the Account Details screen’s Balance Group section, click Deficiency. For more information on Deficiency Balance, see Balances sub tab section in this chapter.

When a Deficiency condition is opened on an account, the system defaults a detailed tracking record with Current field enabled and Follow up date defaulted to system date. The Disposition is defaulted as NEWLY RECEIVED. The system only adds a new detail tracking record. No processing will be done with respect to the detail tracking record when the deficiency condition is closed.
