Guarantor [U0217]

Guarantor is a type of LeasePak client. If you are a beginning LeasePak user or have not yet worked with LeasePak clients, first read the document LeasePak Client for introductory information on how to add, change, and delete LeasePak clients.

Note: a guarantor may not be deleted if currently assigned to any lease or application.

Introduction

The Guarantor update is used to add, change, or delete guarantor information. When adding a guarantor, the user may either add the guarantor as a completely new client (if the guarantor does not exist in the system in any form), or as a new relationship for an existing client (if the guarantor already exists in the system, but only as a lessee, lender, etc.). For more information on clients and relationships, refer to the Client Relationships section of LeasePak Key Structure.

If Client Cloning Module is purchased, the option of cloning a new guarantor from an existing guarantor will be available, using the Client Search screen.

Once a guarantor has been added to the system, it may then be associated with multiple applications and/or leases. Note that a guarantor is independent of portfolio, company, region, and office (P/C/R/O). That is, the same Guarantor number may be assigned to applications and/or leases in different P/C/R/Os.

The Guarantor number is a 9-character alphanumeric field, which must be unique system-wide. It may be assigned automatically by LeasePak (an increasing sequential number) or entered by the user. The CLIENT NUMBERING METHOD (system-assigned or user-entered) is specified through the Miscellaneous option of the Custom General update [U0712].

The LeasePak term "guarantor" may be changed through the Account Customizations option of the Custom General update [U0712]. Refer to the Custom General update [U0712] for more information on defining account aliases.

Fields for adding or changing a guarantor are arranged onto five tabs. All information required to set up a new guarantor (SHORT NAME, NAME, ADDRESS 1, CITY, STATE and ZIP) appears on the Address tab.
