27. 33.48 Dates 15% attorney collection fee of the total amount of taxes, penalties, and interest 33.48 dates normally set in January Applies to accounts delinquent as of 02/01/ current year + 1 Collection fee attaches to account on 02/01/ current year + 1 and may also include current year receivables

28. 33.48 Dates ACT recommends code A (active) lawsuits be set with 33.48 date

29. Setting 33.48 Dates Selects accounts based on legal status requested Can be run for accounts needing a 33.48 date or for accounts that already have a 33.48 date set

30. Setting 33.48 Dates

31. 33.48 Dates 33.48 dates are established by data as it is on a specific date when the process was completed. If data changes during the year, the dates must be manually updated to stay in sync with the penalties and collection fees that are appropriate.

32. For example…. If you set a legal status to active and ACT runs the 33.48 process that reads that status and sets a collection fee date, then you must also change/remove the date as appropriate. Likewise, if your active lawsuit code was not entered on the ACT system when we ran the 33.48 process, you must manually set the 33.48 date when you change the delinquent status.
