The information in this article applies to:

 Microsoft Money 99 == Microsoft Money 98 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

The Bill Reminder in Microsoft Money does not recognize a debt has been paid off and will continue to post payment reminders on the Money Home screen.

= CAUSE =

In the Debt Reduction Planner, you may allocate additional money from any account (such as funds from a checking or savings account) on top of scheduled payments, in order to reduce or eliminate debt according to a self-designed schedule.

However, once you have paid off the debt, the Bill Reminder does not automatically recognize that the debt has been eliminated. Although Money no longer allocates funds to the respective account, it continues to post reminders of overdue bills on the Money Home screen until you manually delete the payment event from the Debt Reduction Planner.

= WORKAROUND =

To remove the payment from the Debt Reduction Planner, follow these steps:

  Click Planner on the navigation bar.   Start the Debt Reduction Planner by clicking Get Out Of Debt (in Money  or clicking Debt Reduction Planner (in Money 99).   Click the Next button under the navigation bar. </li>  Using your right mouse button, right-click the debt then click Move Out Of Plan on the shortcut menu. </li></ol>

The account is eliminated from the planner.
