1402 Using the Debt Consolidation Worksheet

The Debt Consolidation Worksheet allows you to consolidate the consumer debt for any type of refinance. This worksheet is most beneficial when it is used in conjunction with a credit interface provider, which saves the step of manually entering the liabilities.

To access the Debt Consolidation Worksheet:

1. Open a Prospect or Borrower file.
2. From the Menu bar, select Marketing > Debt Consolidation.

If you choose not to use a credit interface provider that automatically populates the liabilities, you must enter the debts the customer is carrying by clicking the New button on the right side of the screen.
3. Complete the following fields: Company Name, Account Number, Type of Account, Balance, Payment, Months Left, and whether the account will be paid off. (If the debts are already entered on Page 3 of the Loan Application, they transfer automatically.)

4. When you have entered all the liabilities, verify the accounts that will be paid off. If an account has been marked Paid Off, it displays an X next to the company name on the left side of the screen. To indicate that a liability is to be paid off, double-click the liability.
