Field

Description

Require PC to IB at Petition

Mnemonic: BIPCIB

Check this box to require users to convert precomputed loans to interest-bearing loans before they can process the bankruptcy transaction. If this is checked and a user attempts to process a bankruptcy transaction on an account, they will receive the following error message:

"The following accounts require the PC to IB transaction: NNNNNNN. Please highlight account number in the grid to convert."

Important: If this box is checked, you should also have the Show PC To IB Link box checked.

Display Reaffirmation Dates Only

Mnemonic: BIDRDO

The Display Reaffirmation Dates Only option determines whether the Standard or Simplified method of processing Reaffirmations is used on the Bankruptcy Detail screen.

•If this box is left blank, the Standard process will be used.

•If this field is checked, the Simplified method will be used.

The Reaffirmation Rescinded and Relief/Lift of Stay radio buttons only appear in the Actions and Dates field group if this field is marked.

Allow File And Notice Dates Same Day

Mnemonic: BIFDND

If the Allow File And Notice Dates Same Day box is checked, the Date Bankruptcy Filed on the Bankruptcy Detail screen is allowed to be today's date and the same date as the Notice Received. Also, the Notice Received date is allowed to be in the future.

Auto Process File

Mnemonic: BIPLEX

If CIM GOLD has been set up to interface with third-party bankruptcy transmissions at your institution (see Court Records Search for more information), the ability to automate bankruptcy processing is available. Mark this checkbox to enable this option. See below for more information.

If this field is marked and the system is notified (by third party bankruptcy transmissions) that a customers’ bankruptcy status has changed , the system will automatically process the appropriate bankruptcy transaction for each account that the individual is attached to (as either an owner or co-owner). These transactions include:

•File Bankruptcy

•Dismissal/Reinstatement

•Discharge

•Convert Chapter

•Close

See help for the Bankruptcy Detail screen for more information about these transactions.

Note: If a bankruptcy transaction initiated by this option encounters an error and fails to process for a customer account, an employee at your institution must manually run the transaction for the account on the Bankruptcy Detail screen. The automated filing option will not attempt to re-process bankruptcy transactions on accounts that have previously failed. However, if the error is corrected and the transaction is manually run, the automated filing option will process any subsequent bankruptcy transactions on the account.
