The fields in the Modify Account field group on the Account Adjustment screen may or may not be file maintainable, depending on the options set up for your institution. If the fields are file maintainable, these fields allow you to adjust the loan's interest rate, regular payment amount, due date, and term. You can also indicate a reason for the loan adjustment.

 

If modifying an account using this field group, the following criteria must be met (unless a certain institution option is set, see GOLDPoint Systems Only note at the bottom of this help page).

 

The New Payment Amount must be at least half of the previous payment amount (PI Constant).

The New Payment Amount must be greater than the minimum payment based on the New Interest Rate.

The New Interest Rate cannot be greater than the Original Interest Rate.

The New Payment Amount cannot be greater than the Original Payment Amount.

If determining a New Payment Amount based on a desired New Term, the system will determine the minimum payment amount of the New Payment Amount so that the loan can be paid off according to the New Term.

For accounts in bankruptcy, the New Payment Amount must be greater than $20, unless the RCNP option is set (see GOLDPoint Systems Only note at the bottom of this help page).

Description

Waive Past Interest Amount

 

Mnemonic: IBREC2

This field is used in connection with the Waive Interest transaction (tran code 2510-01) in GOLDTeller. Type the amount of interest you want waived in the Waive Past Interest Amount field, then click the <Waive Interest> button (see above) to activate the Waive Interest transaction in GOLDTeller. Note: You should already be logged on to GOLDTeller before clicking this button. However, if you are not already logged on, the system will log you on.

 

The system will bring up the Waive Interest transaction, as shown below:

 

waiveinttran_2510_1

 

The account number and amount you entered in the Waive Past Interest Amount field will be carried over on the transaction. You can leave the Effective Rate and Waive Future Int? fields blank. They only apply if you plan on waiving future interest. See the Waive Interest transaction (tran code 2510-01) for information on waiving future interest.

 

Click <Send> to process the transaction and waive the interest amount. You can only waive interest up to the amount in the Amount of Interest Due field. For example, if 100.00 is in the Amount of Interest Due, you can waive interest amount from 0.01 to 100.00.

 

Processing the Waive Interest transaction affects the Date Interest Paid To field. It will reflect the date the interest has been paid to using this transaction.

 

The history description for this transaction is "Waive Interest."

If any partial payments exist on the loan and you try to adjust the payment amount of a loan for less than the amount of partial payment (see Applied To Payment field description), the following message appears:

 

"The new P&I of $XXX.XX is less than the partial payments made ($XX.XX). Would you like to automatically advance the due date and reduce the partial payment amount by the new P&I?"

 

If you click <Yes>, the system will reduce the Applied To Payment (also known as Partial Payments) amount by the amount entered in the New Payment Amount field. The system will also advance the Due Date by one frequency.

 

If you click <No>, the system will close the message and clear the amount you entered in the New Payment Amount field.

GOLDPoint Systems Only: Set institution option OP11 RCNP to "Y" (yes) to allow users to enter a new payment amount without restricting the amount of the new payment to be at least half of the previous amount (PI Constant) and greater than the minimum payment based on the New Interest Rate.

 

For bankrupt accounts, the new payment amount must be at least $20 unless this option is set to "Y."
