04:06:00 Collection of Accounts Receivables

 

  1. This policy applies to the collection of all accounts and notes receivable by Chattanooga State Community College (ChSCC). ChSCC, to the maximum extent practicable, requires payment in advance for all services or goods to avoid the creation of receivables.
  2. General
    1. ChSCC on Payment of Fees. The Tennessee Board of Regent’s policy, Payment of Student Fees & Enrollment No. 4:01:03:00 requires (with limited exceptions) that all assessed fees be paid in advance by a student before being considered enrolled for any academic term.
    2. Types of Receivables. Accounts and Notes receivable may be generated from programs and activities include, but not limited to:
      1. Deferred Payment Plans
      2. Traffic and Parking Fines
      3. Bad Checks
      4. Contracts
      5. Property Rental
      6. Damage, loss, or liability to the institution by others
      7. Financial Aid Adjustments 
  3. General Collection Procedures
    1. ChSCC Procedure. ChSCC shall establish a written systematic process and procedure for collecting receivables from all persons including students and employees.
    2. Billing. Collection efforts should begin no later than thirty days after the obligation has been incurred or other fixed due date.
    3. Delinquent Accounts. A minimum of three billings or letters of contact shall be sent by the institution at thirty-day intervals once an account becomes delinquent.
      1. For debts of $100 or more, the third letter should indicate that the account will be referred to a collection agency if payment is not made within a specified date.
      2. Sending letters by certified mail is optional.
    4. Defaulted Accounts. Accounts are classified as defaulted when the institution’s established collection efforts for the type of debt have failed to produce payment.
      1. Receivables of $100 or more shall be referred to a collection agency if ChSCC’s collection efforts are unsuccessful.
      2. The accounts should be submitted to the collection agency within a reasonable time after the final collection letter is sent if the debtor has not responded.
      3. Referral of accounts under $100 to a collection agency is not required.
        1. No additional collection efforts are required for receivables under one-hundred dollars ($100.00), except as provided for under the Record Holds (Section II.E) and Employee Receivabables (Section III).
        2. See Section VIII. for write/off procedures.
    5. Record Holds. ChSCC is authorized to issue diplomas, certificates of credit, or official transcripts only after the student involved has satisfied all debts or obligations owed to the college, including, but not limited to, its bookstores, libraries, or food service centers. However, this does not prevent the conferring of the degree.
      1. This limitation does not apply to debts of less than one-hundred dollars ($100.00).
      2. This limitation shall not apply to debts or obligations:
        1. Evidenced by notes or other written contracts providing for future payment, such as, but not limited to, loans authorized under federal or state education or student assistance acts.
        2. An amount owed under ChSCC’s installment payment plan for enrollment fees which is not yet due shall not cause a hold to be applied. A notice stating specific amount due should be sent to each student prior to completion of registration.
      3. Notwithstanding the limitation above, ChSCC shall issue a certificate of credit or official transcript for a student seeking admission to a community college in the TBR system if the student has entered a written agreement (acknowledgement of debt/promise to pay) to satisfy the outstanding debt or obligation owed to ChSCC.  Any certificate of credit or official transcript so issued shall indicate that it is subject to an outstanding debt owed to ChSCC. The college receiving such a certificate of credit or official transcript shall not subsequently issue a diploma, certificate of credit, or official transcript to that student until it received proof that the student has satisfied the outstanding debt to ChSCC.
    6. Enrollment Holds.
      1. A student must pay any past due debts and obligations owed to ChSCC incurred in prior academic terms before being permitted to register at the institution unless the debt is less than $100 or an acknowledgement of debt/promise to pay agreement (see section II. G) for the prior debt or obligation has been executed.
      2. ChSCC shall allow enrollment when the outstanding obligation is less than $100.
      3. Additionally, all known debts and obligations to ChSCC incurred during the current term and $100 or greater must be satisfied prior to a student being allowed to pre-register for any future terms.
      4. An amount owed under the deferred payment plan for enrollment fees which is not yet due shall not cause an enrollment hold to be applied.
      5. A student that is currently assigned to a collection agency will be allowed to register if the student signs an agreement (acknowledgement of debt/promise to pay) that acknowledges they will not be allowed to receive a diploma, certificate of credit or official transcript until the debt is paid in full. The student account will not be recalled from the collection agency.
    7. Acknowledgement of Debt/Promise Agreement for Prior Debt and Obligations. A student that has prior outstanding debt and was not enrolled in the preceding semester (excluding summer semester) may execute an acknowledgement of debt/promise to pay agreement with ChSCC and be allowed to register.
      1. The agreement will require that the debt be fully satisfied before a diploma or degree will be issued.
      2. The agreement will require continuous enrollment (Fall and Spring). If continuous enrollment is not maintained ChSCC may continue with normal collection procedures.
      3. A student may only ever execute one such agreement with ChSCC.
      4. “Continuous enrollment” means a student is enrolled in the fall and spring semesters of a single academic year unless granted a medical or personal leave of absence. Allowable medical or personal reasons may include illness of the student; illness or death of an immediate family member; extreme financial hardship of the student or student’s immediate family; fulfillment of a religious commitment encouraged of members of that faith; fulfillment of required initial active duty for training as a National Guard or Reserve member or for National Guard or Reserve mobilization.
    8. Aging. All receivables should be aged at least annually.
    9. Documentation. Accurate records of correspondence, telephone calls, and personal contacts with borrowers shall be maintained. ChSCC shall comply with record maintenance, safekeeping, and retention regulations for federally funded loans.
  4. Employee Receivables
    1. Procedure for Withholding. Employee receivables (including student employees) may result from, among other things, traffic and parking fines, library fines, institution services or bad checks.
      1. In order to recoup the amount owed from the employee’s paycheck, notice of intent to withhold must be sent to the employee by registered or certified mail, email, or personally delivered.
        1. The notice should inform the employee of the amount alleged to be owed and should specify that he may elect to pay the debt in full, authorize deductions from his paycheck or, if the employee is terminating, the check for accrued but unused annual leave, or contest the intent to withhold through a ChSCC or UAPA hearing.
        2. Subsequent to receiving a pre-deprivation notice of the debt owing, the employee, within 15 calendar days of receipt of such notice, must:
          1. Pay the debt in full;
          2. Authorize ChSCC to withhold a designated amount from each subsequent paycheck or, if the employee is terminating, from the accrued but unused annual leave until the debt is paid in full;
          3. Elect to contest the intent to withhold through an institutional hearing; or,
          4. Elect to contest the intent to withhold through a contested case hearing held pursuant to the T.C.A. § 4-5-301, et seq.
      2. If the employee elects an institutional hearing, the employee shall appear on behalf of himself but is entitled to be advised by counsel.
        1. The Vice President of Business and Finance or their representative, or a representative of the department involved in the debt, shall be present to represent the ChSCC.
        2. The case will be heard before one hearing officer designated to hear all cases on that date.
        3. The hearing officer must be an individual who is not so closely connected with the collection of the debt that they cannot render an unbiased and objective decision on the validity of the debt.
        4. Such hearing should be held within one week of the decision to elect the hearing.
        5. The hearing officer shall render a decision on the validity of the debt. If the debt is ruled valid, the debt shall be deducted from the employee’s payroll check beginning at the end of the next appropriate pay period in accordance with deduction schedules.
        6. If the employee elects a UAPA hearing, the Office of General Counsel should be notified immediately.
        7. If the employee refuses to pay, authorize deduction, or specify or waive a hearing process, a UAPA hearing must be initiated.
        8. The employee’s failure to appear at either an institutional or UAPA hearing will constitute default, or, if a prima facie case is presented that the debt is owed, it will be deemed valid; the appropriate deductions may then be made.
        9. Additionally, if a UAPA hearing, a Default Order must be issued.
        10. If the employee does not appeal the Default Order, funds may be deducted as specified.
    2. Limitations on Amounts to be Withheld. The deduction from any check shall not exceed the maximum deductible under state garnishment laws.
      1. The maximum amount of disposable earnings of an individual for any work week which is subjected to garnishment may not exceed:
        1. Twenty-five percent (25%) of his disposable earnings for that week; or
        2. Thirty (30) times the federal minimum hourly wage at the time the earnings for any pay period become due and payable, whichever is less.
      2. In the case of earnings from any pay period other than a week, an equivalent amount shall be in effect.
      3. These limits are applicable to retirement funds, but are not applicable to checks for accumulated annual leave.
      4. Additionally, the above limits do not apply to employee overpayments.
    3. Retirement Funds. If a former employee is found to owe a debt to the state, retirement funds may be utilized to pay off the amount owing to the extent permitted by Tennessee law.
      1. The same procedural steps outlined in III.A. for notice and the opportunity for a hearing must be followed.
      2. Accumulated retirement contributions of a former employee terminated for any reason and for which he has made application, or monthly benefits of a retired employee are subject to withholding to the extent permitted by Tennessee law.
      3. A copy of the final order resulting from an institutional or TUAPA hearing, or a signed waiver of hearing and written agreement of the former employee authorizing deductions should be sent to the director of the retirement system along with a written request to withhold, specifying the reason for the claim and the total amount involved.
    4. Recovery of Overpayments to Employees. Unlike cases in which the employee owes ChSCC money, in instances of overpayments to employees there is no obligation to provide a hearing.
      1. ChSCC is obligated, however, to attempt to recoup the funds. ChSCC should advise the employee in writing of the overpayment and the institution’s proposed actions to correct the overpayment.
      2. The method of repayment will depend upon the amount of the overpayment, the time which has elapsed between the overpayment and its discovery, the hardship which immediate repayment might cause the employee because of amount of current salary and personal expenses, the culpability of the employees in not reporting the overpayment, and the longevity as well as the expectation that the employee will remain in state government until the repayment is completed.
      3. If a current employee receives overpayment, the refund may be made in one of the following ways:
        1. Repayment by the employee by cash or check; or,
        2. Adjustment of deductions to be made automatically from the employee’s paycheck, either with a single deduction or a series of deductions made from each paycheck until the full amount is recovered.
        3. The amount of partial payments recovered by the latter method should be reasonable and systematic so that full recovery will be completed within the shortest period possible.
      4. If overpayment is discovered after the employee terminates employment with the state, an account receivable should be established.
        1. The former employee should be notified of the overpayment, the circumstances of the overpayment and a request that the employee contact the appropriate campus official.
        2. If the employee has not received his final paycheck, the appropriate deduction from that check can be made.
        3. If the final paycheck has been received, negotiations for reimbursement should be initiated.
        4. If repayment cannot be negotiated or collected, the account should be turned over to the collection agency.
        5. In the event collection is not possible, proper write/off procedures should be followed.
      5. In instances in which the employee has agreed to systematic deduction(s) from his paycheck(s), written authorization from the employee is encouraged.
      6. ChSCC shall draft forms to document overpayments, the steps taken to recoup same, any negotiated repayment plan, the amounts received, and any write/off of the overpayment.
  5. Dishonored Payments
    1. Enrollment Fees. Pursuant to the TBR Policy on the Payment of Fees and Enrollment of Students (4:01:03:00), if any student tenders payment of fees by a check or credit card that is subsequently dishonored by the financial institution, and the payment is not redeemed in cash within the time period specified below, the institution has the option to not consider that student enrolled at the institution.
      1. The student will be considered enrolled and will be assessed the applicable returned check fee, the late registration fee, and will be denied grade reports, transcripts and future registration privileges until such dishonored check is redeemed.
      2. ChSCC may deny future check writing privileges to students that have paid registration fees with checks that are subsequently dishonored.
      3. A student paying enrollment fees with a check that is dishonored must redeem the check within five (5) calendar days from receipt of the notice.
        1. Notice should be sent by the institution to the student no more than three (3) working days from receipt of notice of a bad check from the bank.
        2. Notice by certified mail is optional.
        3. ChSCC will have five (5) working days after the expiration of the five (5) calendar days to pursue any additional collection efforts deemed necessary.
        4. Immediately after the five (5) working days, the student will be deleted if the check has not been redeemed in full if that option is selected by the institution.
        5. Enrollment fees including returned check fees for students de-enrolled for bad checks should be reversed.
    2. Non-Student or Non-Employee. Any person other than a student or employee who tenders a check for payment for goods or services which is subsequently dishonored shall be given the opportunity to redeem the check and pay the amount due in cash. The person shall be given notice of the dishonored check, sent certified mail, demanding payment within five (5) days.
    3. Collection of Dishonored Checks. A check presented for payment of any goods or services which is subsequently dishonored shall be treated as an account receivable under Section II. Any transactions that have been processed should be reversed when possible and appropriate.
    4. Future Check-Writing. Receipt of one or more bad checks from any person may result in that person becoming ineligible to make payments by check thereafter. A record of individuals who have written bad checks should be maintained.
  6. Collections Agencies
    1. General. The Tennessee Board of Regents shall provide, on a system-wide basis, collection services through one or more companies.
      1. The service should provide for the referral of all types of delinquent accounts and notes from ChSCC to the designated company only after campus collection efforts have been exhausted.
      2. The terms of the contract and RFP govern all collection actions.
      3. Unless otherwise prohibited by law or regulation, any note, contract or lease which may result in accounts receivable to ChSCC should contain a provision pursuant to which the person will be responsible for the costs of collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees in the event of default, and should further provide for the assignment of the account or note to the proper agency.
    2. Billing Services. ChSCC may use an outside billing service to collect payments on accounts receivable. The service should be familiar with all provisions of loan programs and provide prompt, clear and accurate bills.
    3. Credit Bureaus. ChSCC may report all loans when made to a credit bureau. The institution must obtain the borrower’s consent to report loans not in default by including a statement in the promissory note or some other document that is signed by the borrower at the time the loan is made.
    4. Collection Agency. Accounts that are still delinquent 30 days after the final collection letter should be turned over to a collection agency. Receivables less than $100 are not required to be turned over to a collection agency.
    5. Reporting Requirements. The collection agency should be required to report the status of delinquent loans periodically to each institution and to the Tennessee Board of Regents.
    6. Revised Repayment Plan. A revised repayment plan agreement should be signed by the borrower if the borrower returns to repayment status.
    7. Recalling Accounts from Collection Agency. No account should be recalled from a collection agency other than debts eligible for deferment, postponement, cancellation, bankruptcy, death, disability or some other mitigating circumstance (institutional error, etc.).
      1. No account should be recalled in order for a borrower to re-enroll or obtain a transcript.
      2. A student who is currently assigned to a collection agency will be allowed to register if the student signs a repayment agreement that acknowledges they will not be allowed to graduate until the debt is paid in full. The student account will not be recalled from the collection agency.
      3. The borrower should pay the accelerated amount plus collection costs to the collection agency.
  7. ​Litigation
    1. General. After all other attempts at collection have failed, the ChSCC must authorize litigation of accounts of $2,000 or more providing litigation costs do not exceed the amount which can be recovered. Generally the collection services contract will provide for litigation when appropriate.
    2. Federal Loans. If a Federal loan cannot be litigated for any of the following reasons, it should be assigned to the U.S. Department of Education:
      1. Borrower has no assets;
      2. Address unknown;
      3. Debtor is incarcerated;
      4. Debtor is on Public Assistance;
      5. Unable to serve borrower with court papers;

      7. Expected cost of litigation exceeds amount to be recovered from borrower.
  8. Bankruptcy
    1. General Information - Each institution shall designate a bankruptcy contact person to serve as a liaison between the institution and the Attorney General’s office.
      1. Once notice of, or a petition for, bankruptcy is received, all collection efforts against the debtor must cease immediately.
      2. If the account is at a collection agency, the file must be returned to ChSCC immediately.
      3. ChSCC should immediately forward the file to the Attorney General’s office with a Referral Form and the documentation specified on the Referral Form.
      4. CHSCC should also provide a copy of this information to the TBR General Counsel’s office.
      5. The Attorney General’s office will advise ChSCC when and if collection efforts may resume, depending on the debt’s discharge ability.
        1. NOTE: Effective for actions filed on or after 5/28/91, the period during which an educational loan may not generally be discharged will increase from five (5) years to seven (7) years.
        2. This period is calculated from the date the loan first came due to the date the bankruptcy action was filed, exclusive of periods during which repayment obligations are suspended.
        3. Additionally, obligations to repay an “overpayment” of, or any other obligation to repay an “educational benefit” provided by a governmental unit or under a program funded by a government unit or non-profit institution will be excepted from discharge during the same seven year period under either Chapter 7 or 13 unless the borrower establishes that repayment constitutes undue hardship.

        1. The Attorney General’s office will contact ChSCC to advise whether the debt is dischargeable.
        2. However, if there is an endorser, collection efforts may proceed against him.
        3. If the date of bankruptcy filing is before the expiration of the exception period, collection activity may be reinstated once the notice of discharge is received due to the self/executing nature of the exception unless the debtor has been able to establish discharge ability of the debt through an adversary proceeding.
        4. If ChSCC is served with a summons and complaint, ChSCC shall immediately fax to the Attorney General’s bankruptcy unit a copy of the Summons and Complaint, the debt payoff amount, the date the note went into repayment, and any deferment and/or forbearance history.
