Create Collections Tracker

These steps explain how to create a Collections Tracker, also known as a Collection Card.

  • All members in collections or those declaring bankruptcy should have a Collections Tracker, which should be used to document all conversations with the member.  

  1. Launch Tool #982 Work Collections.

    • You can also create a Collections Tracker using the Member Inquiry tool, which can be launched by clicking the magnifying glass icon in the top right corner of your home screen.

  2. On the Collections Member Selection screen, select the type of accounts for which you'd like to view Trackers:

    • Delinquent loans

    • Negative balance accounts

    • Overline accounts

    • Written off loans 

  3. Click the forward arrow.

    • It will take a moment before the next screen appears.

  4. On the Collections Member Inquiry screen, select the account for which you'd like to create a Tracker.

  7. On the Member Tracker Entry pop-up, in the Key word/phrase field, enter “Collection Card.”
