Definition

The system uses the dunning run to determine how often a delinquent loan in a specific days past due category has been dunned. It increases the counter for a days past due category by one each time.

The days past due category corresponds to the dunning level of the loan. You can choose between the following counter methods:

  • Cumulative method

    As soon as payments for a loan are past due, the system can increase one or more counters from for one or more days past due categories by one, at the same time, depending on how many days past due the payments are. If the system increases a counter, the counters of previous days past due categories are not changed.

  • Single method

    As soon as payments for a loan are past due, the system increases the counter for just one days past due category by one. If the loan remains past due over and beyond a specific time period and the next highest counter level is reached, the system reduces the counter for the previous days past due category by one and increases the counter at the new level by one.

You can determine which counter method the system is to use to determine the days past due categories separately for each dunning procedure.

Example

A bank sends a dunning letter (reminder) to a borrower when a loan is past due by 10, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 days.

If the payment installments are due from the borrower on the 1st of each month, but the borrower first pays each one on the 21st of that month, after the first 100 days of the loan term the borrower has been 10 days past due 3 times and 20 days past due 3 times.

Depending on the counter method chosen, the counter readings for this scenario would be as follows:

Counter (in days)    Cumulative method    Single method

10    3    0

20    3    3

30    0    0

60    0    0

90    0    0
