I've got a customer with an AMEX bill of $1,500 and of course the payments comes up as 1,500 since this is a tried and true AMEX Bill. I know this sounds weird but I can't ever remember this issue and I"m trying to figure out if I should take 10% of the amount owed as a payment. The $1,500 throws this guys DTI out of whack other than that it a clean file

I think you can take 3% of the balance. Don't quote me on that.

doesn't DU or LP automatically cancel this debt out from the DTI?

I have always seen it disregard the debt if the monthly payment is as much as the current balance

I've always used 3% and it's never been changed by an u/w.
