Debt settlement enrollment data: what it is

Enrollment data is the record of who is in a debt settlement program: each consumer’s status, the company running the program, and the dates that show how current the record is. It is the raw material behind every scrub and every monitoring report.

What the data describes

Strip away the workflow and an enrollment record is a small, precise statement: this consumer is in a for-profit debt settlement program, with this company — or was, until this date. Nothing about balances owed, nothing about where the consumer lives, nothing borrowed from a credit file. The record exists to answer the enrollment question and to keep answering it correctly as the answer changes, because enrollment is not a permanent state: consumers sign up, and consumers drop out, every month.

That narrowness is deliberate. Data built for one question can be kept exact about that question — current, dated, and unambiguous — instead of approximating five questions at once. The market numbers behind the demand are on the data page; this page is about the records themselves.

What a record contains

🟢

Status

Currently enrolled, or dropped out. The single most important field — it decides whether an account is represented by a program or workable again.

🏢

The company

Every hit names the debt settlement company holding the enrollment — the party actually receiving the consumer’s program payments.

📅

The dates

An “as of” date on every record states how current it is; for drop-outs, the date the consumer left the program is carried with it. History is kept, with dates, rather than overwritten.

Freshness is the product

Enrollment data decays. A list that was accurate in January misroutes accounts by spring, because the underlying facts moved: new consumers enrolled, others left. The network is therefore kept current — refreshed as often as daily — and every record and every result carries its as-of date, so the age of an answer is always known rather than guessed. A dated answer can be relied on, audited, and defended; an undated one is a rumor with a workflow built on it.

How the data is delivered

Real-time API

Single accounts checked in the moment — at intake, inside a workflow, before a decision. The answer returns with its status, company, and as-of date attached.

SFTP batch

Full portfolios move as files over the encrypted channel: an entire inventory out, the matched records back — and, under monitoring, a change report every month.

Two services consume the same data in two different ways: the scrub reads it as a point-in-time check of a submitted inventory, while monitoring reads it as a monthly comparison against a standing one. The difference between the two is laid out in monitoring vs. one-time scrub.

Enrollment data — questions

What is debt settlement enrollment data?

The record of who is enrolled in a debt settlement program: for each consumer, the enrollment status, the company holding the enrollment, and the dates — including an as-of date on every record and the dropped date when a consumer leaves a program.

What does an enrollment record contain?

A status (currently enrolled or dropped out), the debt settlement company named on the hit, an as-of date, and for drop-outs the date the consumer left. A complete SSN is never displayed in any result.

How current is the data?

The network is refreshed as often as daily, and every result is stamped with its as-of date — the currency of the answer is part of the answer.

How is enrollment data delivered?

Two ways: real-time API calls for single-account checks, and SFTP file transfers for portfolios and monthly change reports. Both channels are encrypted end to end, and identifiers are hashed on arrival.

Does the data include credit counseling (DMP) enrollments?

No. The records cover for-profit debt settlement programs only — debt management plans are a different product and are not in the network.
