information can be specific to an area or organisation• Warns the individual as to overspends or under- spends so
they can adjust their budgets accordingly• Gives people more control over their financial affairs• Allows people to access and change their budgets or compare
budgets if they are making decisions on new financial situations e.g. new baby etc

How to record that you have spoken to a customer?ICIS can footprint an account using an online action. These have been used widely within Collections and can be seen on the Debt Recovery tab of CUSE.
We will then be able to monitor your customer, assisting them where possible and also be able to report on whether they enter the Affordability Scheme.
After your phone call go to the DRHIST screen and click on the ‘Action To Do’ tab. Insert the action code ‘AFFIDENT’ in the Code box. The date will default on by 14 days, if this is not suitable please change the ‘Delay’ or ‘Next Action Date’ field accordingly.
