Screen Overview

This screen displays various information about the loan, such as the interest rate, payment frequency, and date opened and is a summary of what the loan looks like at write-off or charge-off. This should be used to ensure that you have accessed the correct loan and that the numbers match as expected. These fields are collected at write-off and charge-off for research purposes. (See below for a description of all of the fields on this screen.)

In the middle of the screen you can maintain the collateral while on this screen.

When dealing with secured loans, it is always a good step to review the collateral attached to the loan. Select the Update button next to the Estimated value of collateral field. This will take you to the screen where you can begin to maintain the collateral. This is a good place to adjust the actual value of the security to see if there are issues with your valuation procedures. This creates a more precise loss amount. If the collateral has been liquidated, a zero value should be in place here.

This also allows you to make adjustments, if needed, to the description.

At the bottom of the screen indicate whether the debt is still collectable.

If it is still collectable select Yes, I want to write off the loan. This will take you to the next write off screen where you will write off the loan. (NOTE: If it is already written off, you will advance to the next charge off screen.)
If it is not collectable, select "No I want to charge off the loan $ close the account." This will take you to the next charge off screen where you can charge off the loan and begin the process of closing the loan.
Selecting the other option "N/A" will take you to the Home Page.
