Managing Late Fee Plans


This subsection describes procedures of managing late fee plans.
Turnkey Lender allows applying a certain late fee policy to a credit product. A late fee policy implies charging a certain amount of fee for an overdue installment. In the system, the late fee policy corresponds to a late fee plan created by the user with the Admin role. Depending on business objectives, the administrator can create multiple late fee plans, each late fee plan incorporating a set of fees for overdue days (refer to Adding Late Fee Plans). However, only one late fee plan can be applied to the credit product and, consequently, to all loan applications created on the basis of this credit product. For more information on how to add a created late fee plan to the credit product, refer to Adding a New Credit Product.
A list of all late fee plans created in the system can be viewed on the Late Fees tab of the Past Due Settings area:

The table of the Late Fees tab displays the following information:
Name: a name of a created late fee plan;
Number of charges: a number of late fees created within one late fee plan (refer to Adding Late Fee Plans);
Absolute late fee min/max: a minimum and maximum fee amount specified in the created late free plan;
Late fee rate min/max: a minimum and maximum percentage of an outstanding balance. A fee amount is calculated on the basis of a specified percentage of the outstanding balance.
The subsections below describe procedures of creating, editing and deleting late fee plans.


Adding Late Fee Plans


This subsection describes the procedure of creating a late fee plan.
The administrator can create the late fee plan comprising a list of fees charged for overdue installments on the basis of days in arrears.
To create a late fee plan:
1) In the option menu to the left, click Past Due Settings.
The Late Fees tab of the Past Due Settings area displays a list of all late fee plans created in the system:

2) Click the Add new record button.
The Add Late Fee Set window opens:

Note:

The name of the late fee plan must be unique.


4) Click Add row to add a late fee.
5) In the Installment past due (days) box, enter a number of days in arrears.


Note:

The number of days in arrears must be unique for each created late fee.


6) In the Absolute fee box, define a fee amount.
A defined fee amount will be applied if an installment is overdue for a period specified in the Installment pas due (days) box above.
7) In the Outst.balance % fee box, specify a percentage of an outstanding balance. The fee amount will be calculated on the basis of a specified percentage of the outstanding balance.


Note:

The system provides for two options of charging a fee:
Static: a fixed fee amount can be specified in the Absolute fee box.
Dynamic: a fee as a percentage of an outstanding balance can be specified in the Outst.balance % fee box. A specified value can exceed 100%.
The administrator can specify a fee in one of the above mentioned formats. It is also possible to specify the fee in both formats. In this case, when the installment becomes overdue, a total fee will be calculated by the system as the sum of the specified dynamic and static amounts.


The late fee has been added.

8) (Optional) Click Add row and repeat steps 5-7 to add other late fees.

If the overdue loan migrates from one past due period to another, a final fee amount is calculated as the sum of fees for This and previous past due periods.
If days in arrears overlap with a grace period, a fee will be charged after the end of the grace period, namely on the first day after the end of the grace period.
