Foreclosure & Repossession & Judgment Screen > Attorney Information tab > Institution's Assigned Attorney field group

These fields are used to set up and view information about the institution's assigned attorney. Names of legal firms and attorneys that your institution uses are set up and stored on the Loans > Payee > Payee Information screen. You can use the Foreclosure screen to link the payee to the loan. In the Payee system you only need to set up the name, address, phone number, etc., for the attorney one time and then all loans use that information. We recommend that as you assign payee numbers you keep attorneys within the same payee code range to make it easy to locate them. For example, assign all attorneys payee numbers 700 through 750.

After the payee has been linked to the loan, the name, address, phone number and contact are displayed.

Note: The Foreclosure screen and the Bankruptcy Information screen both use the same program to link payees (attorneys) to the loan. See the Debtors Attorney and Bankruptcy Trustee field groups on the Names tab of the Bankruptcy Information screen for more information.

See the following example of this field group:
