This article and video will guide you through forcing an agreement into Third Party Collections status.

Agreements can, however, be manually pushed into third party collections status if needed.

On the left side of the page select Cancel This Agreement > Force Intro Third Party Collections Cancelled Status. Choose Place This Agreement Intro Third Party Status and then click OK.
Pull up the customer's profile and and go to their Agreements tab > Full Details > Agreement Summary . Here, you can view the status of the agreement and will have the option to Edit Third Party Status.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What happens after we place into third party collections?
Swift Funds Debt Collector Agency will reach out to the client. Some clients will pay this immediately and some won't. After approximately 30 days after the agreement is placed into third party collections, the debt will be reported to the credit bureaus.
2. Will ClubReady continue to attempt to draft on this agreement after it is placed into third party collections?
When an agreement is placed into Third Party and picked up by Swift Funds to collect on, it is cancelled by the system so the user doesn't get any more draft attempts or late fees incurred.
