Best case by Stretto Version 28 provides tools to propel your practice, grow your firm, and increase your bottom line. This video provides a quick overview of what’s new in Version 28 including the brand new Chapter 13 Plan tracker, access to robust Student Loan analysis tools and interface updates.
Utilizing the Chapter 13 Plan Tracker, your firm can protect its revenue while delivering superior client service by managing Chapter 13 cases more effectively. This tool is your pathway to fewer dismissed cases, improved client outcomes, and an improved bottom line.
The Chapter 13 Plan Tracker allows you to:
- Identify cases where your client has missed entirely or made only a partial Trustee payment. You can then proactively work with the client to resolve issues before the Trustee files a motion to dismiss, putting you on your heels and your fees at risk.
- Locate all upcoming step and lump sum payments, permitting you to ensure that the debtor complies with the terms of the confirmed plan before they fall behind.
- View all attorney fees disbursed to date by the Trustee, compared to what was scheduled in the confirmed plan. Additionally, you can view all future scheduled attorney fee payments, allowing you to accurately forecast your monthly Trustee disbursements.
- Streamline post-confirmation plan modifications under § 1329. Utilize the plan modification calculator, populated from both your Best Case file and the NDC’s data on disbursements against claims to date, to compute viable plan modifications in a matter of minutes.
