SUMMARY: The proposed information collection requirement described 
below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

    HUD is required to collect debt owed to the agency. As part of the 
collection process, demand for repayment is made on the debtor(s). In 
response, debtors opt to ignore the debt, pay the debt or dispute the 
debt. Disputes and offers to repay the debt result in information 
collections. Borrowers who wish to pay less than the full amount due 
must submit a Personal Financial Statement Offer. HUD uses the

settlements, repayment agreements, and pre-authorized electronic 
payments to HUD. Borrowers who wish to dispute must provide information 
to support their position.
