RecoveryPro Updates Page |
Requires Microsoft Vista, Windows 7, 8, 10 or greater, Microsoft Word, and an internet connection. RecoveryPro no longer run on XP. Make sure that RecoveryPro is NOT running on your computer before you do the update or else an install error will occur. Click to Download RecoveryPro Update Here (Version Date: 5/31/2020) Update does not run by itself and requires full version to run. This update will not affect your existing databases. The Update Install will NOT prompt you to OVERWRITE existing files. If it does you are not running the update, you are running the full install and it will overwrite your databases and you will lose your data. You will want to say 'No' to the prompts. If the download dialog screen offers 'Run', select 'Run'. If it does not, select 'Save' and save the .exe program (recoveryproupdate.exe) on your computer at a location where you can find it. After saving it (recoveryproupdate.exe), you will have to run it from your computer. After the update is complete, you can remove the recoveryproupdate.exe program from your computer.
On occasion (usually with 64 bit Windows Operating System), the Crystal Reports Runtime program does not install correctly. In these incidences, you will be prompted with an error on the Account Screen, the ToDoList Screen, and the Owed Creditors Screen. The error will say that there was a problem initializing the Crystal Reports Engine (or some other Crystal Reports error). If this occurs, run this download which will install and correct the Crystal Reports Runtime (Crystal Report Runtime). If you need Microsoft's .NET framework 3.5 SP1, you can find it HERE. If you need Microsoft's .NET framework 4.0, you can find it HERE.
Second Update HERE Update History Notes:
06/03/2017 If you ever had issues trying
to find out if a check that you wrote to the court has cleared
for a certain account action. Now, on the main menu, there is a
Check Issued button. You can select your account from the
pulldown and enter the date, check number and note about a check
that you write for an account (this is not for creditor
payments. Only to document other checks for an account). On the
account screen, on the expenses tab, you can review the checks
that you wrote for this account. This will make it easier to get
a check number to check against your online banking to see if a
check has cleared.
08/10/2015 You can now enter creditor payments on the owed creditor screen. This will really speed you up.
07/30/2015
After a long while, I finally finished this update. Now
you can have unlimited creditors on an account and unlimited
payments to creditors. This was a big build since it affected so
many routines throughout program. Many other cosmetic and other
fixes are in place now.
11/23/2014
Godaddy did it again! Now, access to all my databases
have failed. They do not know what is causing it. I have a new
account with them and I created new databases on the new
servers. These I can access with no issues. However, user
information is kept online only and I have no way to access the
user information in order to transfer it over to the new
databases, therefore you will have to re-set your user
permissions.
08/03/2014
Long time since last post. In this update you now use
DropBox to sync documents between computers. If you only have
one computer, then you do not need DropBox. In other words, the
attached documents now work. See instructions about getting your
old docs over to the DropBox.
04/18/2014
Working on setting up your Letter Printing in Preferences
so it will automatically set a note for ClientWatch on print.
Also, to set up an expense on print. Both are in progress at
this time. Did the update to cover other small issues and
cosmetic things that popped up since the last update.
04/01/2014
Set up the Owed Creditor Screen so you can print monthly
statements into .pdf documents. The instructions are on the
screen after you click the pdf button. At this time it does not
.pdf the statements for debtor & garnishee statements as well as
satisfied account statements to the creditors.
02/20/2014
Looks like a long time since I posted what is in the
updates. The latest update includes the ability to create
expenses as a user defined feature along with the amount of the
expense. These are added on the User Default 3 tab in
Preferences. Also, in the Quick Collect Menu, you can now select
individual accounts to populate. This will be handy for incoming
mail, payments, etc.
06/30/2013
Changed the Main Menu and Account Screen to allow for
more Account Statuses in pulldowns (by the main three catagories
- Collection, Judgment, and Solicitation). On the Account
Screen, you can set a Collection, Judgment, or Solicitation by
using the radio buttons and leaving the pull down blank. The
pull down is a sub status of the main three catagories.
06/30/2013
Due to our hosting provider having their servers slowing
down (which they deny) - the account screen has been updated to
speed it up to offset the added delay from the server. In other
words, it should appear to be about the same as before (the
slowness is only noticable for those using an online database).
Also, added the ClientWatch (AccountWatch) info on the Creditor
Screen and the Important Info tab in the Account Screen (for a
lack of anywhere else to put it). You set up your Company Info
on the ClientWatch tab in Preferences. You can then give your
clients a user name and password to log into ClientWatch (which
they download from RecoveryProSolutions.com. This allows them to
see the ClientWatch Notes that you put in on the Account Screen.
06/07/2013
Added a default #10 envelope for Scheduled Mail Merge
Documents. If you are not using windowed envelopes, then you can
set the default (Creditor or Debtor) in Preferences. The option
pops up after you select your letter from the mail merge pull
down or browse button. If you need something other than the
default #10 envelope, you can create your own mail merge
document (lables, #12, #9 etc) to the same query that you link
your mail merge document to. You can then open the envelope
manually during the print process OR you can create your
envelopes and labels as a seperate mail merge option and then
schedule the envelope from the account screen just like you
schedule your letter. If you want to use lables to the default
query instead of the default envelope, you can merge to 'Get
Mail Merge Envelopes' in the QueryDB.mdb database. You will have
to open your doc manually during the print routine.
05/22/2013
Made major changes to the Import Screen in order to make
the upload process easier.
05/05/2013
Had to break RecoveryPro down into two programs due to
size. Therefore, there are now three programs that will access
your internet and will be blocked by your firewall software.
They are RecoveryPro.exe, RPSync.exe, and RPApps.exe. You will
have to set up your firewall software to allow all three of
these programs.
05/05/2013
You can now set up your “non scheduled letters” as
Scheduled Mail Merge in your preferences. This allows you to set
a print date on the debtor tabs in the account screen and print
them from the scheduled print job from the Daily to Do Screen.
These documents are documents that you would normally have merge
to the ‘Get Marked Accounts’ query or they are your garnishment
documents. Instead you can merge them to special queries in the
QueryDB2.mdb database (notice this is DB2 and not the regular
query database). The query names are explained in preferences.
Go to the Judgment and/or Collection tabs. There is a sub tab
for Scheduled Mail Merge.
This feature is
perfect for remote users on your system who do not print
documents. They can now schedule contracts, garnishments,
satisfactions, and other court documents to be printed by you
from your location. Just like the Scheduled documents that are
mail merge, you have to put your documents in the same folder on
each computer where you want documents printed (since they are
based on a link). I am working on a way to post the documents
online so all of your users can print from any location without
having the documents on their personal computers. This will help
with document updates.
03/24/2013
Added a user defined standard reviews pull down on the
account screen (set up the standard reviews in Preferences) so
you can select your commonly used reviews from a pull down list.
This will provide consistency for employees. Also, added an
'Attorney Date' to garnishments for those who send their
garnishments to their attorney for signatures and have to wait
to get them back. This will help in reviews and cut down on
those 'Check garnishment attorney' reviews.
03/18/2013
Did some work on the attached documents so it functions
better. Also added two 'labels' on the account screen below the
'remove' debtor button - they will be visible if you have a
payment plan or an active garnishment on the account.
02/17/2013
Added numerous new user permissions. Everyone defaulted
to all permissions regardless of prior permissions. You will
have to go through all your users to update to the new
permissions. The "General" permission for each screen will let
you get into the screen.
01/28/2013
Added the ability to 'skip' certain parts of the To-Do
Screen. Just check the skip check box next to each catagory that
you do not want to populate the next time around. You can
uncheck and 'Reset' any time (batch printing doesn't reset
unless you close the screen and come back in). This ability to
'skip' is user specific, changable, and designed to speed up the
building of the screen.
01/26/2013
I added the ability to add mail merge documents to the
scheduled letters. Select ‘Mail Merge Document’ from the
scheduled letter pull down (letters 1 through 12) and a browser
will pop up (to select your Word document). It is best to put
your documents in a location where you can find them easily. You
will be given a pop up telling you which query your document
will have to be merged to (QueryDB.mdb database in your
RecoveryPro folder). At this time, every user will have to have
a copy of the document in the same folder on their computers for
this to work correctly (the documents need the same ‘path’). I
am working on a way to store the documents online for those who
have remote users. You will need to connect to the mail merge
wizard and navigate through the steps in order to print all
letters merged to the document (Example: if you have 5 letters
scheduled, you will have to step all the way through the mail
merge wizard to print all letters) - in other words, you will
need to have a good understanding of mail merge or risk failing
to print multiple documents. All Mail Merge Documents are set to
'Other' paper.
01/03/2013
Again, some small changes and some cosmetic work.
12/13/2012
Small cosmetic and code updates over the last month.
Nothing serious.
11/11/2012
Added the ability to 'restore' the account info - this is
on top of the restore expenses and payments that were done
before.
11/08/2012
Added 'Soundex' to creditor's first and last name. You
can now search credtiors from the main menu just like you do
with debtors.
10/29/2012
Added a "check box" next to the Late Payments in the
Daily to Do screen. When checked you can then view ALL future
payment plans (includes the late ones)
10/15/2012
Changed the way the updates work so there will be only
one update download unless there is a change in the
"Prerequisites". Also, added a feature to the Quick Collection
screen so you can sort your searches by oldest to newest or
newest to oldest.
10/02/2012
Added the ability to 'skip' the monthly debtor statement
on the Owed Creditor Screen. The check box to skip the statement
in on the Account Screen under the payment statment check box on
the scheduled letters tab.
08/14/2012
Added a new employment search - this one is $1 per hit
and is NOT verified.
See Preferences for details.
08/01/2012
Worked on the Stats screen. Judgments and Collections
stats should be correct at this time. User defined accounts will
correct themselves (in the stats) as you go into each account.
Also, upgraded programming language that RecoveryPro is written
in - hopefully this will take care of some of those intermittent
Microsoft errors that pop up now and again.
07/10/2012
Added license and paid searches 'history' to the license
screen so you can better know how much you owe month to month.
06/05/2012
Added Garnishee notes that you can view on the garnishee
tab in the Account Screen. It is read only, so you will have to
add notes in the Garnishee Screen.
04/12/2012
Did some work on the 'Other Account Status' pulldown on
the To-Do-List screen. It now shows you how many accounts fall
in each catagory. A good use of this feature - if you have a lot
of reviews - is to set your review as normal in the account, but
also to have an Account Status for your more common reviews.
This will allow you to 'pull' those reviews out on your
to-do-list faster. It also can be used in the Quick Collection
Screen.
03/20/2012
Added the ability to set the To-Do-List , Maintenance,
and Searches screen to search by user.
03/13/2012
Added the catagory 'Contracts Out' as a new status so you
do not need to use a user defined field for this one. Also,
there is a 'last date worked' list on your to so screen for the
contracts out. Contracts out are not in the regular last date
worked list. This will allow you to use the Contracts Out list
(by last date worked) instead of cluttering up your review list
with follow-up reviews.
02/10/2012
You can now select your printer from a list at print
time.
01/21/2012
Just some cosmetic work and some general changes.
12/27/2011
Did some more work on the "Restore" feature.
12/18/2011
Setting ground work for a "Restore" feature. Records are
now being saved in a History database (RecoveryProH.mdb). At
some point, I will put in the ability to retrieve the saved
records. You will be prompted to download a history database.
12/01/2011
Finished putting preferences online so you can now access
your preferences from a remote computer. You can also allow
remote users to print your scheduled letters and it will print
with your letter head.
11/03/2011
Added the ability to print scheduled letters from a
remote user. Just set the user's permission to print letters.
10/28/2011
Reviews are now transfered to notes when created,
changed, or deleted
10/27/2011
General update - cosmetic issues mostly.
10/07/2011
General cosmetic work - mostly tweeks about the resizer
so different resolutions look correctly.
10/02/2011
Now when a scheduled letter is printed, a note is added
to the account notes showing date/time/who printed it & the name
of the letter printed.
09/29/2011
Did some general 'tweeks' to the screens so that they
work better with the new 'resize' code that I put in.
09/21/2011
Added my own Resizer to RecoveryPro. Also did some
general updates.
09/14/2011
I had to remove the Resizer that I put in back in July.
The Resizer was casing issues with the program’s ability to read
some text fields on some Window 7 machines. I have put the old
Resizer back until the issue with the new one is corrected.
However, the old one does not support Windows 7. If you have a
Windows 7 machine, you will have to turn off the resizer on the
login screen.
09/09/2011
Added some fields to the "Paid Searches" screen to handle
the two new employer searches.
09/08/2011
Updated the 'View all Payments' screen to handle 160 JD
payments vs the 100 payments it was set for before.
08/22/2011
Put some final touches on the two new Employment
Searches.
08/20/2011
Changed the “Subprime Results” button on the Main Menu to
“Paid Search Results”. This is due to the two new Employment
Searches being added to the program. Also, on Debtor Screen (and
Debtor Tabs), I added a new tab called “Needed Searches” - this
is where the Subprime Search has been moved. This also has the
two new Employment Searches along with the existing 15 search
reminders. If you are interested in the Employment Searches, go
to Preferences (Paid Searches Tab) for information.
08/18/2011
Created multiple Debt Pools. More options for Debt Pools
are in the works. At this time, you can create multiple Debt
Pools - each Debt Pool having its own Letter Head assigned to
it. Letter Heads are created on the Letter Head tab in
Preferences. Debt Pools are created on the Debt Pools tab in
Preferences.
The value of
multiple Letter Heads and Debt Pools is this. If you have
multiple employees and they have email addresses or direct phone
numbers and you want your debtors or creditors contacting them
direct, you can create a letter head for each of your employees.
You can then create a debt pool for each of your employees and
have them set each of their accounts to their debt pool. Also,
this works if you have multiple business names (like collections
vs. judgment recovery).
Also in this
update, I added “vs. [Debtor’s Name]” under the city/state/zip
on solicitation letters. This will then show through a windowed
envelope and hopefully increase attention to your letter from
the creditor - and therefore increase response. The debtor’s
name is the “JD Agreement Name” located on the Account Screen to
the right of the Judgment Header/Style information. If you do
not have the debtor’s name(s) in this field, the letter will
just show “vs.” with no name.
07/27/2011
Found a way to speed up the program between screens.
Added date pickers to expenses dates and other date fields on
the account screen. Did a lot of 'cosmetic' work adjusting for
the new resizer and the way it handles some fields and fonts.
07/18/2011
Added a 4th solicitation letter.
07/13/2011
Found a way to speed up the program. Also, worked on
consmetic issues from the new resizer.
07/10/2011
Got a new resizer for the program that is compatible with
Windows 7. The option to turn the resizer on and off is still on
the login screen 'just in case'.
07/08/2011
Restructured pricing to make better levels. Lowered the
price overall.
06/30/2011
Added two reports on the Owed Creditor Screen. One prints
statements to Garnishees and the other prints statements to
Debtors. These are only for those accounts where payments are
recieved during the period of time that you enter. This is for
states that require these statements to be sent to Garnishees
and Debtors. Any payments received from a garnishment, you need
to select the garnishee from the pull down list for 'payment
made by'.
06/20/2011
Added the ability to "Mark" Creditors in the Creditor
Screen (other than Client Leads). In the Query Database there is
now a "Get Marked Creditors - No Account Info" query. It is the
exact same query as "Get Marked Client Leads" query. It allows
you to create documents for your creditors without any debtor or
account information.
Did the same for
Debtors. There is now a "Get Marked Debtors - No Account Info"
query. Great for orphaned debtors or debtors where you do not
need account info.
06/14/2011
Updated the subprime searches to provide a last date
submitted and a last result date on the debtor tab/screen.
06/11/2011
Added a button on the Debtor Screen and the Debtor Tabs
in the Account Screen to allow you to send the old address
information to notes with a ‘click of a button’.
06/11/2011
Updated the Restore backup database copies so the date is
now year first, month, day and I changed the time over to 24
hour clock. This will allow the files to be alphabetized by name
and still be in order.
06/03/2011
Added a results screen for the sub prime reports.
Information on the sub prime reports can be found in
Preferences.
06/03/2011
RecoveryPro now creates a backup copy of the database
each time you shut down the program. It is located in the same
folder where you keep the live backup copy of RecoveryPro. If
you are not using the live backup or didn’t change the location
of the live backup database, then the copies are located in your
RecoveryPro folder on your C drive. The new folder is called
‘Restore’ and each copy of RecoveryProData has the date on the
end of it ‘RecoveryProData201106200949AM’. The name includes the
date and time of the copy - in this example it is June 20, 2011
at 9:49 AM. Since these names are year first, they will be in
alphabetical order. To restore, you will have to copy the file
to your working database folder (normally the RecoveryPro folder
on your C drive) and rename it back to RecoveryProData.mdb. At
this time, the program keeps the last 15 copies of the database.
05/26/2011
Split the Closed and Satisfied account types, since
before they were combined into one 'completed' status.
05/19/2011
Changed the Judgment Type (Trial, Default, etc) to user
defined that you can set up in Preferences. Also changed the
Collection Types (Auto, Credit Card, etc) to user defined that
you can also set up in Preferences.
05/13/2011
Added Non Recoverable Expenses fields to the Expenses Tab
of the Account Screen. At this time, there are no stats for
this. This will be in the works at some later point. Also,
toying with how to set up these expenses to be able to charge
back to the OJC (for those who do that).
05/09/2011
Added a pulldown on the Account Screen so you can
'assign' a review to another user besides yourself. If you do
not select a user, it will default back to the user who is
assigned to the account.
05/03/2011
Added six 'groups' to the Garnishee / Employer / Bank
screen. These new 'groups' have their own mail merge query so
you can print off a group of documents for multiple records.
05/02/2011
Turned the 8 other fields for garnishments and turned
them into user defined fields. Set the names in preferences.
04/26/2011
Added Pre-Judgment Interest & Attorney Fees fields to the
account.
04/23/2011
Changed garnishments so there can be more than one active
garnishment at a time.
04/11/2011
Added a Loan Modification Screen to RecoveryPro. The cost
is $5 per month and the screen is activated in Preferences.
03/30/2011
Added 10 User Defined fields for Debtors.
03/28/2011
Did some work on the Synchronize program with regards to
attached documents.
03/18/2011
Did some work on the Synchronize program for those with
online databases - stabilizing the program and making it run
more efficiently.
Also changed code to handle logged out users better in the event
that an ‘Unhandled Error’ occurs. Put in more error trapping
(about ½ of all read and write statements so far) to avoid
‘Unhandled Errors’ - you now will just get a pop up window with
instructions. Also did a lot with network timeouts (mostly for
online databases) to allow more time for the online database to
respond. Also error trapped to avoid data conflicts.
03/11/2011
Set up the main menu to allow for new future screens and
statuses.
03/01/2011
Added a button on the main menu called "Orphaned
Debtors". These are debtors that are not assigned to any
accounts. Before now, they were just floating in limbo. Also,
the orphaned debtors now appear in your inactive debtor list on
the account screen.
02/27/2011
Did some work on the Owed Creditor Screen to avoid an
error with numeric data fields with no value.
02/23/2011
Fixed the "Total Owed" tab on the Debtor Screen.
02/20/2011
Added Court Types to the Court/Sheriff Screen. This
allows you to put in your courts - like District Court,
Magistrate Court, etc. On the Account Screen, the County pull
down is now populated from the Court/Sheriff Screen. When you
select your county, the Court pull down will populate with your
Court Type.
02/17/2011
Updated the Account Screen so if you have multiple
creditors, you can set the creditor’s % by Gross % instead of
trying to figure the % between Creditor 1 and Creditor 2 by the
Net % of recovery.
Also, the number
of free users is now set at 3 instead of 2 and the fees for
users are being waived below 400 accounts.
02/14/2011
Add a check box on the Court/Sheriff Screen, Other
Addresses Screen, and the Garnishee/Employer/Bank Screen that
changes the text to upper/lower case just like debtor/creditor
names.
02/07/2011
Added a Spell Checker for the new note fields. Requires
Microsoft Word 2007 or greater to work.
02/04/2011
Added ‘Other Account Statuses’ to the Account Screen.
In preferences (Status/Results Tab), you will find
instructions and here is where you will have to ability to add
or remove from the lists.
02/02/2011
Added a "note" section where you enter your account or
debtor notes. These notes will be added to the main note section
on Save. The main note section will be 'read only' for any user
that does not have Administration permissions. This will prevent
employees from altering notes. Administration can click on old
notes to 'unlock' it for editing. Only the 'New Note' section
will date stamp a new note on save. Also, the new notes will be
added to the 'Top' of the notes instead of being added to the
bottom. Unfortunatly, this will mess with those who already have
notes - sorry about this, but notes at the top is a better
system for reading.
01/24/2011
Added a zip code feature to the Debtor Screen, Creditor
Screen, and Account Screen (for debtor tab and creditor tab). If
you do not have a city or state filled in, you can just enter
the zip code. The city and state will Automatically populate.
01/22/2011
Added the ability to import records from a Microsoft
Excel Spreadsheets. Instructions are found on the Import Screen
(Main Menu - Admin tab - Import button) and also on the website.
A link to the website page is located on the Import Screen.
01/17/2011
Updated the Payments Screen to show the last 100 payments
made by the JD (instead of the 60 already in there).
01/10/2011
Made changes to the Creditor screen to handle leads
better with multiple databases.
01/06/2011
Have been working on "cosmetic" parts of the program and
fixed a flaw on the Court/Sheriff screen.
12/22/2010
Added code to entire program to avoid Net Work Timeout
Errors.
12/15/2010
Added some code to the Main Menu Screen to prevent that
annoying Net Work Timeout Error that was occurring on occasion.
Will add code to the other screens later.
12/12/2010
Added a check box on the Creditor and Debtor screens and
tabs which, when checked, will automatically convert names and
addresses to Upper/Lower case type when you leave the fields.
This allows you to copy and paste from online screens and not
have to worry about retyping the data.
12/11/2010
Created a "Debtor Status" non scheduled letter that will
act like a Receipt for your debtor. It can be found in
Preferences, Non Scheduled Letters, Debtor Status (Receipt) in
the list on the left. There is with or without your custom
header.
12/07/2010
Moved the Courts/Sheriffs and the Garnishees tables to
the online database so remote collectors can have access to
them. Changed the employer and bank section of debtor screen and
tab to select name from Garnishees table. Also added a button to
allow you to open the Courts/Sheriffs screen and the Other
Addresses screen from the Account Screen so you can see the info
without having to exit the Account screen first.
11/29/2010
Lowered software price and added a new pricing "step" -
400 accounts. Changed pricing to monthly instead of quarterly.
11/28/2010
Added three User Defined account “Types” for the Main
Menu and Account Screen. These are set in the Preferences Screen
on the User Defined tab. You set these for Collections,
Judgment, or Solicitation so you can schedule letters on the
Account Screen.
Also, you no
longer have to enter your % rate (My Fees%) or the Creditor %
(OJC Fees%) at the bottom of the account screen by the JC and JD
Agreement names. These %’s are now generated by the Creditor %
of Principle Payments.
11/12/2010
Updated the program to allow a user to host their own
online database and to synchronize their online database with
their local database.
The instructions and settings are in preferences. You can
still use a database hosted by RecoveryPro Solutions if you
wish. Either way, you can still have a Remote Collector access
either online database. Also, if your internet goes down, you
can use your local database and the databases will automatically
re-synchronize when your internet comes back up.
10/16/2010
Added an address pull down to make populating some
addresses quicker on the Account Screen.
10/06/2010
Added scroll bars at bottom and side of screen (use can
use mouse scroll) for those of you that have the program screens
go off your computer screen and the resizer (located on login
screen) does not change the screen size properly.
09/28/2010
Added a new style of Acknowledgment of Assignment
(w/Notice). This style acknowledged that a copy of the
acknowledgment was sent to the debtors.
09/26/2010
Added 30 User Defined
fields in the Account Screen that mail merge to the 'Get Marked
Accounts', 'Get Marked Debtor Exams', and 'Get Marked
Garnishments' queries in the QueryDB database. You can set your
labels in Preferences.
09/24/2010
Change some of the code that accesses the online
database. Setting up the infrastructure for future for self
hosted online databases.
09/17/2010
Some bugs fixed. Set up infrastructure to add Debt Pools.
Also set up more User Permissions so you can separate your
accounts better per employee so employees won’t get into
accounts that they are not suppose to.
08/04/2010
Fixed the late payment in the To Do screen. You will see
late payments after you print the next statement (needs some
internal dates to kick in)
07/30/2010
Added Assignment Documents w/o Notary for non scheduled
letters.
07/22/2010
If you have a credit for being an NJN forum member, you
now see your credit on the License Screen.
07/21/2010
Corrected issues with Other Addresses, Court & Sheriff,
and Garnishee screen when saving new and existing records.
07/08/2010
There is now a check box on the scheduled letters tab to
automatically print a Voluntary Payroll Deduction form along
with a regular scheduled letter. You MUST go to your preferences
and check your Voluntary Payroll Deduction letter you wish to
use. It is located at the bottom of the Judgment Letter tab and
Collection Letter tab just below the Payment letter. It will
default to style #2, but you must hit SAVE to get it to ‘kick
in’ (save path to your database) or else you will get an error
when you try to print the letter.
Style #2 has a
‘recommended’ monthly payment amount which is from the payment
amount on the scheduled letter tab (based on what you want per
month). Style #1 is open ended with no recommended payment
amount. You will have to decide how you wish to handle
communications with the employer if you get one of these back.
You can still
schedule a Voluntary Payroll Deduction form to print like any
other letter. You can also select to print this form from your
non-scheduled letter section (see preferences).
06/23/2010
Some cosmetic work and some simplifying of code.
06/10/2010
Updated some letters and did some work to clear up some
issues with the online database.
06/06/2010
Created a style 2 for the voluntary payroll deduction
forms. This has a ‘recommended’ payment amount / per month
(which you set in the scheduled letters section of the debtor
tab - Payment Amount field) - remember, this is a MONTHLY
recommendation; the debtor and employer can break it down by
number of pay periods in the month. Style 1 does not have the
recommended payment amount. Also comes in custom header version.
Also created a
pull down for the Judgment Type (Default, Confessed, Affidavit,
Other, Verdict). Verdict means that there was a trial.
05/27/2010
Added a delete feature for ‘Purged’ accounts, Client
Leads (creditors without accounts are changed back to client
leads), and Debtors with no accounts. A Delete button will be
found on the account screen (Debtor List/Review Tab), and the
Creditor and Debtors screens.
The ability to
delete accounts/client leads/and debtors is a User Permission
that has to be set in your preferences. The permission is
granted by default, so if you have any employees, you will need
to review permissions for your employees.
Also, I added a
Voluntary Payroll Deduction form. You can schedule it to print
or you can add it to your non scheduled letters to print as you
go. It can be mailed separately or with another letter.
05/21/2010
Updated the ToDoList screen for letter printing. Next to
the ‘Regular’, ‘Perforated’, & ‘Other’ paper buttons, there are
a ‘Print Envelopes’ and ‘Print Labels’ buttons. These will open
a #10 envelope or labels so you can print your envelopes/labels
PRIOR to printing your letters so you don’t have to use the #10
windowed envelopes.
05/20/2010
Created a Garnishee screen (like the Other Addresses and
Court/Sheriff screens) so you can enter your garnishees. When
you do a garnishment, you select your garnishee from a pull
down. There is a button located on the garnishment tab that will
take you to the garnishee screen to create a new garnishee (you
can also go to the garnishee screen from the main menu - other
tab).
5/7/2010
Added Judgment Payment Offer letters, Judgment Settlement
Offer letters, and Collection Settlement Offer letters. I also
speeded up the daily startup for the first start of the program
per day.
5/3/2010
Added a mail merge copy of the solicitation letter. This
letter can be found at c:\recoverypro\forms in the JC folder.
This can be used to “Mark” a first or second creditor in your
account (creditor tab) to print a solicitation letter for them.
I also updated some of the scheduled letters and reports
(cosmetic work). I also changed the way the To Do List screen
interacts with the other screens so when you are moving in and
out of the To Do List screen, it will populate faster. When
populating from the Main Menu, there will not be any change to
the speed it populates, only when returning from the other
screens.
4/28/2010
Added some date pickers to debtor tabs and debtor screen.
Added auto time stamp for creditor notes so it acts like the
debtor notes and account notes.
4/4/21/2010
Added a routine to ‘score’ your debtors based on criminal
history. The score button is located at the upper right of the
debtor tab (next to the ‘Marked’ check box). Instructions are
included on the Score Screen. The idea is to determine your
debtor’s “Attitude” based on their criminal record. Also, if you
have access to the financial records of the citations, to
determine if they have paid their citations (and also to score
them if the citation is for drugs or alcohol). This will help
you to determine if a collection account is worth pursuing, to
pursue a law suit on a collection account, or spending money
pursuing a judgment on the person.
I also rewrote
some code to speed up some routines and did some cosmetic work
on labels, buttons, and such.
04/16/2010
Moved PTPs from the debtor tab to the Review section.
Added a number of date pickers and updated the way they work.
4/12/2010
Added date pickers for debtor searches.
4/10/2010
Added a letter and a #10 envelope in Forms Folder for
Verifying Addresses. There is new button on the Daily to Do
screen that you have to click to ‘populate’ the query for the
letters, envelopes, and postcards to populate correctly. I also
added a “Don’t Verify” check box on Preferences/Other Tab so you
won’t verify debtors who are Dead Ends or SSI/Welfare.
04/08/2010
Did more work on the scheduled letters, including putting
copies online to view.
