In a settlement offer, the financial institution and the customer agree on an amount that is less than the customer's total outstanding debt (for example, paying a portion of entire loan, not just the past due amount). From the Settlement Offer service case, the Take a Payment P-case is created and is routed to a payments workbasket. A settlement offer can also be added as an option in the Schedule Payment Plan service.

Launching a settlement offer service case

To launch a Settlement Offer service case, complete the following steps.

1. In Express mode, click New > Demo Interactions > Collections > Demo Card Coll - Williams and start an interaction.

3. On the Settlement Offer page, enter the proposed settlement amount, payment effective date, and payment method, then click Next.
4. Select the communication mode, then click Finish.
