    Metro 2 Integration for Simplicity Collection

    Simplicity Collection Software is a cloud-based, SSAE16-compliant collection platform designed for small to mid-size collection agencies. It does not include native Metro 2 credit bureau reporting. Metro2 connects to Simplicity's Web Services API (REST, API key authentication, base URL at app.simplicitycollect.com/api) to pull debtor records, account data, and payment history — then generates CDIA-compliant Metro 2 files with K1 segments for original creditor tracking and submits to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion via SFTP.

    How It Works

    Metro2 authenticates to Simplicity Collection's REST API using an API key. Debtor records, account data, and payment history are pulled from app.simplicitycollect.com/api. Metro2 maps Simplicity's account statuses to Metro 2 status codes, generates K1 segments for original creditor tracking, validates all fields against CDIA rules, and submits Metro 2 files to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion via SFTP.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does Simplicity Collection include credit bureau reporting?

    No. Simplicity Collection Software does not include native Metro 2 credit bureau reporting. Metro2 adds this capability via API integration — connecting to Simplicity's REST API, generating CDIA-compliant Metro 2 files, and submitting to all three bureaus.

    How many accounts can I report?

    There's no limit. Metro2 handles portfolios of any size, from a few hundred accounts to tens of thousands.

    Is my data secure?

    Yes. Simplicity Collection is SSAE16 (SOC 1) compliant, and Metro2 uses encrypted API connections and SFTP for all data transfers and bureau submissions.

    Medical collection accounts are held for the required waiting period before reporting, in compliance with FCRA rules and the National Consumer Assistance Plan (NCAP).
