SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This SORN supported activities related to
collecting and servicing various HUD/Federal Housing Association (FHA)
debts under the Department's Title I and Generic Debt programs. The
method used for retrieving records was assessed, and it was found that
the system's records are retrieved using the Claim Number (also known
as Case Number or Account Number) assigned to the debt. While the
system has the capability to search using the debtors' Social Security
Numbers, Names, and Addresses, these fields were never the primary
methods of retrieval. As a result, the DCAMS system of records is being
rescinded since it does not meet the legal definition. Though the
systems will keep operating normally.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
Debt Collection and Asset Management System (DCAMS), HUD/HOU-55.
