    B013Terms Frequency Mismatch

    The payment terms don't match the payment frequency

    Affected Field
    #12/13Terms Duration / Terms Frequency

    Description

    The Terms Duration, Terms Frequency, and Scheduled Monthly Payment fields must be logically consistent. For example, a 60-month installment loan should show monthly payments, and the scheduled payment should align with the loan terms. Mismatches suggest data entry errors.

    Common Causes

    • Terms updated but frequency not changed
    • Bi-weekly payments not properly converted
    • Default values used instead of actual terms

    How to Fix

    1. 1Verify terms match the loan agreement
    2. 2Convert non-monthly payments to monthly equivalent
    3. 3Ensure consistency across related fields
