Metro Contact Description Codes

These tables give a brief explanation, taken from the Metro 2 manual, for each of the settings Collect! enables you to choose in Credit Report Details.

The settings you select are "coded" and written into the Description field of the Metro Contact created for the Debtor. These settings are also updated automatically by Collect!, as needed, when the Debtor is worked. For instance, a Payment in Full will update the settings automatically to send this information the next time you run your credit report.
