Users can use this tab to record collection efforts and any other information helpful in maintaining the selected customer account. The Employee Performance screen and Promise Tracking screen records employees' performance in collecting payments from borrowers, as explained in the Follow-Up Date field.

The fields on this tab are as follows:
Field
Description
Follow-Up Date
Mnemonic: QAFDTE
Use this field to enter a follow-up date to call the borrower to check up on whether any payments were made to bring the account current. See Follow-Up Date for more information.
This field can be updated by comment codes, with some exceptions. See Comment Code below for more details.
Time
Mnemonic: QHHHMM
This field is the collection comment follow-up time, which corresponds to the follow-up date.
Comment Code
Mnemonic: QHHACD
Click the list icon to select from a list of codes that represent actions taken on the loan. These represent areas such as incoming calls, outgoing calls, responses made, and reasons given. See below for more information.
Codes that start with "DR" and "DS" can be entered to specify the status and reason for delinquency in payments. These reasons are then reported to FNMA or others that require this information. When a comment code is selected in this field, it will also be entered in the Reason and Status fields on the Delinquent Payments tab. When a transmission sent to FNMA, the codes in these fields will be reported in the transmission. Also, when a code starting with "DR" or "DS" is set up on an account, that account will be sent to the Collection Queues.
Note: Comment codes that begin with "F" (with the exception of "FC - Foreclosure") update the mnemonic QADTFU, but not the mnemonic QAFDTE (which corresponds to the Follow-Up Date field explained above).
If your institution wants âFâ codes included in follow-up queues, you will need to include QADTFU in your field logic along with QAFDTE. Contact your GOLDPoint Systems account manager for more information about how to implement this change.
Entering the following Comment Codes will update the Loans > Statistics and Summaries > Employee Performance screen accordingly:
•Any codes that start with âL" (Left Message) update the Left Message counter.
•"MP-Mailed Payment" updates the Mailed Promises counter.
•"PP-Promised Payment" updates the Payment Promises counter. This comment code also adds the comment to the Loans > Statistics and Summaries > Promise Tracking screen.You can add new "PP" comment codes on the Collection Comment Codes screen, and they will be tracked on the Promise Tracking screen. For example: "PPTEXT" would be used if the employee texted a reminder to the borrower to make a payment.
•"MK-Marketed for Renewal" updates the Marketed for Renewal # counter.
Note: You can add or change codes to this drop-down list by using the Loans > System Setup Screens > Collection Comment Codes screen.
