The Big Picture Of Pay Arrangements

A payment arrangement is an agreement with a customer to payoff severely overdue debt in billed installments. Bills sent to customers with payment arrangements contain charges for both their current services and their payment arrangement installment amount.

Note:

Nomenclature. Some people refer to payment arrangements as "current bill plus" agreements because the customer's bills contain charges for both their current debt plus their installment amount. After the customer has paid off their overdue debt, the customer's bill only contains charges for their current debt.

The topics in this section describe how to set up a payment arrangement and how the system monitors the ongoing arrangements.
