According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system for and method of relieving an entity (e.g., an individual, a family, a business) from at least one payment obligation are disclosed. The embodiment includes receiving information relating to the entity and deciding whether to issue an account to the entity. The embodiment also includes issuing an account to the entity in response to the step of deciding. The embodiment further includes receiving data, the data being associated with at least one of the entity and the account. The data include: first information reflecting a trigger circumstance, the first information defining a potential future situation, and second information reflecting a benefit, the benefit being intended to address at least one payment obligation, where the payment obligation is not initially associated with the account. The embodiment further includes processing at least a portion of the data using at least one probabilistic computation, the probabilistic computation including at least one financial assessment associated with the trigger circumstance. The embodiment further includes receiving an indication that a trigger circumstance has occurred. The embodiment further includes comparing information in the indication to account information associated with the entity. The embodiment further includes determining, based on the account information associated with the entity and consistent with the data received from the entity, that the entity is entitled to the benefit. The embodiment further includes providing the benefit to the entity in accordance with the account information associated with the entity.
Various optional features of the above embodiment include the following. The embodiment may include a line of credit as the benefit. The line of credit may be intended to address any payment obligation. The line of credit may be restricted. The embodiment may include restricting who may receive funds from the line of credit. The line of credit may be intended for use against a financial obligation arising from a financial product. The method may include disposing of the benefit. The disposing may include debt deferment, debt suspension, debt cancellation, or debt forgiveness. The trigger event may be a loss of employment, divorce, disability, hospitalization, medical treatment, family leave, judicial proceedings, tax events, natural disasters, call to duty, fire, flood, marriage, child birth, child adoption, retirement, or death. The payment obligation may be a loan (e.g., mortgage), bill (e.g., health insurance bill, life insurance bill, rent, utility bill, hospital bill, credit card bill, car insurance bill), car payment (e.g., payment on a car loan or lease), retirement savings, penalty, fine, attorney fees, tax, other type of lease, line of credit, letter of credit payment, or child support. The embodiment may include a financial product such as a credit card, a stored value card, a demand deposit account, a letter of credit, or a line of credit. The embodiment may include a web page accessible by the entity, where the step of receiving data selected by the entity occurs via the website. The embodiment may include conveying to the entity, via the website, information reflecting at least one fee received from the entity. The embodiment may further comprise receiving an application from the entity, the application including the information relating to the entity, and accepting the application. The embodiment may further include receiving consideration. The consideration may include at least one fee received from the entity, at least a portion of the fee being associated with the benefit. The portion of the at least one fee associated with the benefit may include a flat fee, a lump sum fee, a percentage of a periodic obligation, a percentage of an outstanding debt, or a percentage of an average monthly balance. The consideration may include the entity obtaining an account. No compensation may be received in response to the step of issuing.
The embodiment may include receiving data selected by the entity. Such data, being associated with the account, may include third information reflecting a second trigger circumstance, the third information defining a potential future situation, and fourth information reflecting a second benefit, the second benefit being intended to address at least one payment obligation. Such an embodiment may further include receiving a request, the request indicating that a trigger circumstance has occurred, and comparing information in the request to account information associated with the entity. Such an embodiment may further include determining, based on the account information associated with the entity and consistent with the data received from the entity, that the entity is entitled to a triggered benefit, the triggered benefit being the benefit or the second benefit, and providing the triggered benefit to the entity in accordance with the account information associated with the entity.
The invention, both as to its structure and operation together with the additional objects and advantages thereof are best understood through the following description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
According to an embodiment of the present invention a universal clearinghouse account for payment protection is disclosed. The account is “universal” in the sense that it may be used to protect payment in any of a number of obligations, not limited to debts or obligations associated with the bank that issues the account. Thus, for example, the account may be used to defer a minimum monthly payment on a credit card that is not associated with the account. Such a deferral may be accomplished by issuing a line of credit to the accountholder, where the line of credit may only be used to pay minimum monthly payments on a particular credit card not associated with the account. Obligations (not limited to debts) that may be covered by the invention include, by way of non-limiting example: mortgage payments, secured and unsecured loans and lines of credit (e.g., business or consumer loans), education, credit cards (even credit cards not directly associated with the account or with the financial entity), vehicle payments (e.g., vehicle loans and vehicle leases), vehicle insurance, rent, lease, utilities (e.g., electricity, water, gas), retirement savings (e.g., 401k), penalties, fines, attorney fees, taxes, child support payments, hospital services, and any combination thereof. Any of these payments may be protected even if not initially associated with the account or financial institution. The account may include a credit card or line of credit, but is not limited to accounts that include such products.
According to certain embodiments of the present invention, a single account may provide payment protection for a plurality of financial obligations. Moreover, such embodiments may provide payment protection for obligations that are not initially associated with the account. By way of non-limiting example, certain embodiments of the present invention may include an account with a first bank that provides protection for: the minimum monthly payment on a credit card associated with a second bank, a mortgage payment where the mortgage is held by a third bank, a monthly payment into a 401K savings plan associated with a fourth bank, a car loan payment where the car loan is held by a fifth bank, and so on. In short, certain embodiments of the present invention may provide payment protection for any financial obligation whatsoever, regardless as to whether such obligation is associated with the account that provides the protection.
Note that embodiments of the present invention are not limited to submission of the application by the entity. For example, in certain embodiments of the present invention, the application may be submitted by a third-party, such as, by way of non-limiting example, a mortgage holder.
The account associated with an embodiment of the present invention may be a pre-existing account, in which case an application will already be on record. For example, the account may be associated with a mortgage, loan, or other pre-existing financial product associated with the entity. Alternately, an entity may apply for an account by telephone, in person, mail, email or internet. An entity may first be offered an opportunity to obtain an account according to an embodiment of the present invention by solicitation through mail, telephone, email, or any other advertisement technique such as billboard, television ad, or print ad. For telephonic signup, an entity may be solicited by telephone, or the entity may initiate the contact him or herself by dialing a telephone number that has been provided by any of the above-referenced advertisement techniques, for example. For mail signup, the entity may fill out a form and return it in a pre-paid envelope. The entity may obtain such a faun, by way of non-limiting example, via its inclusion with a bill or other communication associated with a pre-existing account. For internet-based signup, the entity may visit a webpage and fill out a form. A link to such a webpage may appear on any content website or may be included in an emailed solicitation.
Once the entity (or other party) has submitted an application, the issuing bank determines whether it will accept 120 the application. Acceptance involves conventional risk-determination techniques, such as checking the applicant's credit. Further, the issuing bank may check its own records for the applicant should the applicant already be a customer of the issuing bank. Part of the determination typically involves screening the applicant according to normal screening procedures associated with any financial products that form part of the account. For example, for an embodiment of the present invention that includes a credit card, the acceptance process would typically include a screening of applicants similar or identical to a screening of applicants that would precede issuing such a credit card that is not associated with an embodiment of the present invention. For an embodiment of the present invention that includes a savings account only, the process will typically include the screening that an applicant would undergo upon application for a standard savings account. In sum, the financial product or products associated with an embodiment of the present invention typically define, in part, the screening process that an applicant will undergo. As discussed further below, such an initial screening process may be independent from a secondary screening process that is associated with requesting trigger events and their corresponding benefits.
Once the application is accepted, the customer may select trigger events and associated benefits 130. Note that in certain embodiments of the present invention, the accountholder may choose trigger events and associated benefits contemporaneously with his or her application submission 110. Trigger events generally initiate payment protection in accordance with certain embodiments of the present invention. Such events include, by way of non-limiting example, involuntary loss of employment, divorce, bankruptcy, disability, death judicial proceedings, tax events, natural disasters, and hospitalization. The accountholder may select trigger events from a list of possibilities that are displayed to the accountholder via, by way of non-limiting example, the internet, email, traditional mail, or telephone. Alternately, or in addition, the customer may define a trigger event him or herself. The customer may select any number of trigger events.
Benefits available according to certain embodiments of the present invention include deferring mandatory payments (e.g., monthly minimum payments) for a certain amount of time and without incurring interest, and/or extending one or more lines of credit (which may be done automatically by, e.g., via wire transfer to an account, adding credit to a credit card, or by adding to or distributing a stored value card). The type of protection invoked upon a trigger event may depend on the particular type of trigger event itself. Benefits may survive death of the accountholder.
Other types of benefits include one or more lines of credit. Such lines of credit may be limited to certain merchants by, for example, making the money available on the card associated with the account and limiting the card for use with particular merchants via a merchant code. Alternately, or in addition, certain embodiments of the invention may extend a generic line of credit, such that a trigger event causes a line of credit of a particular amount to be extended for any use whatsoever. In either the limited or generic case, a line of credit may be automatically entered onto the balance of a card associated with the account such as a credit or stored value card. Lines of credit extended as benefits according to certain embodiments of the present inventions may be drawn upon to retire up to a certain number of full or partial periodic payment obligations and/or full or partial debt balances.
A benefit may include a line of credit specifically targeted to paying obligations associated with a financial product that does not form part of the universal payment protection account. That is, an accountholder may possess a financial instrument, such as a credit card, that is not part of an account associated with an embodiment of the present invention. Such a financial product is referred to herein as an “outside financial product.” Such an outside financial product may have a payment obligation associated with it, such as a minimum monthly payment for a credit card. A benefit according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a line of credit that is specifically configured to pay obligations associated with outside financial products. In the example of a outside financial product credit card, a benefit may be a line of credit that covers the minimum monthly payments. Such a line of credit may be restricted for payment of that credit card only.
Note that embodiments of the present invention may be used to protect payment obligations for any of a variety of outside financial products such as, by way of non-limiting example, mortgages, loans such as car loans, savings accounts such as 401k accounts, and credit cards. Such line of credit benefits may be unrestricted, or may be restricted for use against any financial obligation including financial obligations associated with any financial product, whether an outside financial product or not.
Note also that payment protection of an outside financial product survives transfer of that outside financial product to another entity. For example, if an outside mortgage is protected, protection will survive the mortgage holder selling the mortgage to another entity. This is unlike e.g., prior art mortgage protection services where the mortgage protection is provided by the same entity that holds the mortgage.
Each trigger event is generally associated with at least one benefit. Likewise, each benefit is generally associated with at least one trigger event. As an example of a trigger event and benefit pair, certain embodiment of the present invention may include payment holidays. For example, embodiments of the present invention may offer the entity a set of certain predetermined days on which the entity may declare that a trigger event has occurred. A set of such predetermined days may typically, but not necessarily, include federal holidays. Thus, for example, once the entity selects such a set of days as part of selecting trigger events (e.g., at step 130), that entity may use any of the selected days (e.g., Veteran's Day) to declare that a trigger event has occurred. The entity may further select (e.g., at step 130) and eventually receive a benefit associated with such a trigger event. Such a benefit may include any of the benefits discussed herein. Alternately, or in addition, the entity may select a reprieve from an obligation for a limited time (e.g., a payment holiday). Such a reprieve may constitute an interest-free line of credit that automatically extends to the obligation that the entity has selected to be the recipient of the payment holiday.
Typically, the issuing bank calculates a value for each trigger event and associated benefit pair. Such a value is the result of an actuarial analysis of the trigger event, benefit, and accountholder information. The value may be calculated using standard actuarial charts, such as those prepared by or associated with the Society of Actuaries or the Social Security Administration, known to those of skill in the art. Such values generally represent an expected value of the trigger event and benefit pair. Once the issuing bank arrives at a value, it may price the associated payment protection.
Payment protection pricing may be determined as an actuarially-determined expected value plus an additional charge. The additional charge may include consideration of, by way of non-limiting example, administrative costs, marketing costs, competitive analysis, etc. Payment schemes that take into account both an actuarial value and an additional charge include, by way of non-limiting example, a flat monthly fee, a lump-sum fee, a percentage of a monthly obligation (e.g., a percentage of a monthly mortgage payment), a percentage of a total outstanding debt (e.g., a percentage of an entire mortgage), a percentage of an average monthly balance, or any combination of the preceding. Once a total fee is determined using actuarial analysis and other considerations 140, it is included 150 in a bill to the accountholder.
The issuing bank then compares 230 the reported trigger event with those subscribed to by the accountholder and decides whether the accountholder is entitled to one or more benefits. The decision process may further involve inquiries of the accountholder or other parties. By way of non-limiting example, in the event of hospitalization, the accountholder, hospital, or insurer, for example, may be required to produce evidence of hospitalization to the issuing bank. Evidence may take the form of a receipt, insurance report, police report, or other indicia of hospitalization. Evidence may be conveyed automatically, without the participation of the accountholder. In the hospitalization example, the issuing bank may gather receipts, insurance reports, or police reports directly from, respectively, the hospital, the insurer, or the police, without the involvement of the accountholder. In general, additional evidence required by the issuing bank may include, by way of non-limiting example, receipts, official reports, death certificates, court records or orders, police records, sworn statements, verified statements, other statements, telephonic verification with the accountholder or a third party, emailed verification with the accountholder or a third party, and written verification by the accountholder or a third party. Once the issuing bank decides that the accountholder is entitled to one or more benefits, it will provide 240 the same to the accountholder.
The accountholder or other benefit recipient may receive the benefit automatically. Exemplary techniques for such automatic transfer include, by way of non-limiting example, check, direct deposit, or wire transfer to the accountholder or directly to the party to whom the obligation is due, or by addition to or distribution of a stored value card. Automatic transfer may include activation of a stored value card, e.g., using the techniques taught in U.S. Pat. No. 6,615,190 to Slater entitled “Sponsor-Funded Stored Value Card.”
At step 250, the benefit is optionally disposed of. That is, certain embodiments of the present invention cancel or suspend without interest the debt incurred by accepting a benefit. The disposition of a debt arising from a benefit may be predetermined based on the terms and conditions of the debt protection agreement options selected and actively in place. That is, selecting a disposal option may occur as part of selecting benefits and trigger events. In certain embodiments, a line of credit specifically configured for payment of obligations associated with an outside financial product serves to effectively defer payment of those obligations until such time that repayment of the line of credit is due. However, certain embodiments may dispose of the benefit by entirely forgiving debt arising from the line of credit. In such embodiments, the disposal of the benefit may serve to effectively cancel outside financial product payment obligation altogether.
The accountholder may use the web page to select the length of time that deferment will last should the accountholder select a deferment benefit. The length of time may be an absolute length of time, e.g., measured in days, a relative length of time, e.g., until the accountholder resumes employment, or a combination of both, e.g., the longer of when the accountholder resumes employment or 100 days. The user may select a length of time from a list or may be able to enter a length of time into a field particularly designed for such a feature. Note that selection of a length of time is not limited to selection via a website; an accountholder may perform such selection telephonically, by way of regular mail, or through any other communication technique.
Embodiments of the present invention may calculate payment options in response to the accountholder's request. That is, when an accountholder selects a trigger event and benefit pair, the issuing bank typically performs an actuarial computation and calculates an associated fee (140 of
The account holder may specify a maximum monthly fee, and the issuing bank may calculate coverage options (trigger events and associated benefits) that are available for that amount. The issuing bank may store a list of the accountholder's payment obligations of which it is aware, and draw from such a list in response to the accountholder's request. For example, the accountholder may specify that he or she is willing to pay $5 per month for some type of payment protection. The issuing bank may determine all trigger event and benefit pairs that are available to that accountholder for such a fee. Alternately, or in addition, the accountholder may narrow the field of trigger events and/or benefits that are subject to this feature. For example, the accountholder may be interested in all deferments that are available for $5 per month on any of a variety of payment obligations. The issuing bank may then offer the accountholder a choice of payment obligations that it may defer for a fee of $5 per month. Note that presentation of trigger events and/or benefits is not limited to presentation via a website. The issuing bank may convey such options to an accountholder telephonically, by way of regular mail, or through any other communication technique.
The accountholder may specify on the website a hierarchy of debts to be paid in order upon certain trigger events. That is, where the accountholder selects debt cancellation as a benefit, he or she may further specify which debts should be cancelled in order. Specifying the order of debt cancellation may be accomplished via the web page or any other communication channel, such as telephone, mail, or email.
The accountholder may designate individuals that are to receive funds via stored value cards or other techniques upon certain trigger events. More generally, certain embodiments of the present invention allow persons other than the accountholder to receive benefits. Such persons may be specified on the web page during account signup (e.g., 130 of
The web page may include a trigger event reporting feature 350. Such a feature may include a list of trigger events that the accountholder has selected and been approved for. The accountholder may use the reporting feature to report trigger events to the issuing bank. By way of non-limiting example, the reporting feature may allow the accountholder to click on a particular trigger event, which will cause a separate dialog screen to appear in which the accountholder may present details of the trigger event. As discussed above in reference to
The web page may be used to check on the status of any outstanding trigger events. By way of non-limiting example, the web page may include a list of trigger events about which the accountholder has notified the issuing bank. The accountholder may click on a listed pending trigger event, by way of non-limiting example, in order to receive information about the issuing bank's processing status of the trigger event. Such information may include an identification of additional information required by the issuing bank. It may further include an estimated time remaining until the accountholder receives the associated benefit.
Certain embodiments of the present invention may incorporate trigger events that are activated by an individual other than the accountholder. By way of non-limiting example, one such trigger event my be an accountholder's spouse involuntarily losing his or her job. As another example, hospitalization of an accountholder's child may trigger cancellation of debt associated with the accountholder. As yet another example, the accountholder may be a minor, who may receive a line of credit restricted for use against a college savings plan in response to the divorce of a parent accountholder. In this latter example, the debt arising from the line of credit may be cancelled in disposing of the benefit. In general, a benefit may protect payment obligations of the accountholder, the person associated with the trigger event, or a third party.
Note that embodiments of the present invention do not provide insurance in the traditional sense, in that they do not pay claims. Instead, certain embodiments of the present invention extend lines of credit. Repayment on these lines of credit may be canceled or deferred.
Advantages of certain embodiments of the present invention include the following. One advantage is a removal of the need for a separate consolidation contract (and signature, in the event of activation) for each separate debt or obligation. Another advantage is that the issuing bank becomes associated with many of the accountholder's obligations. Yet another advantage is that the debt protection liability does not transfer to an owner or investor in the accountholder's obligation because it does not attach to the accountholder's obligation instrument as an amendment. Therefore no prior approval or additional agreements must be made with an owner of or investor in the accountholder's obligation.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Unless defined otherwise, all technical, financial and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. As used throughout this disclosure, the singular fauns “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
