Add new schemes, fees, alerts to create the perfect system for your operation. 7.1 Scheme Management The full high court process is built into the ClickDebt system, including all key letters and stages, with ready made schemes set up for the fiscal side of High Court Enforcement including HC- County Court, HC-Queens Bench and HC-Chancery Division. Some amazing tools have been developed for debt recovery and enforcement.

These fees can be set up for each individual client. Additional fees can be entered manually in ClickDebt s financial area, and applied to individual cases. 7.3 Reporting ClickDebt can generate complex reports through its powerful custom search engine. Many of these reports can become graphical with a few additional steps. Remittance schedule remittance for different clients automatically. Instant generation of remittance reports are saved as a zip file. You can also use the Remittance Generator to see all cases where remittance has been: Successful. Unsuccessful. Paid Directly. Paid and cleared. Paid and uncleared. Commission create a report by following a series of pre-set menus, including enforcement officer, BDM and introducer, to see what amount of monies a user is owed between certain dates. The commission is set according to each client, by percentage or flat rates of fees. Daily Fees filter through your receipts and see which cases are Ready for Pay-out, which cases will have Future Pay-outs between dates, and which cases have Paid out between dates. Report Generator access old reports or create a new custom report, e.g. all cases over 300 days old. 7.4 Batch Actions The Batch Action function is another feature of ClickDebt created to make the debt recovery process as quick and effective as possible.

Allocate, or de-allocate all cases selected. 7.5 Arrangements The arrangement system on ClickDebt keeps you on top of debtors who pay, and those who do not. You can set up an arrangement by frequency, amount and date. A date by date table will calculate the amount of necessary payments owed until the final payment is received. Should an arrangement be broken, it will be clearly displayed in red and will trigger the Broken Arrangement Alerts. Similarly, arrangements can be easily edited. Other users will be able to see that an arrangement has been amended, from what, to what and by whom. 14 T: +44 (0) E: [email protected] W: T: +44 (0) E: [email protected] W: 15
