Issue 1.2
This form of debt collection does not deduct from the credit remaining in the
meter but takes an amount from the value of the payment value when it is
accepted by the meter.
When setting the debt, the following parameters are required:

Debt amount to be recovered

Percentage of the payment to be collected

Weekly collection cap value
Example: £100 to be collected at 10% of the payment value with a weekly
cap of £5.
Three payments are made in the same week. Note: The week starts on a
Monday.
Payment 1 = £20. Amount taken = £2. Debt remaining £98
Payment 2 = £20. Amount taken = £2. Debt remaining £96
Payment 3 = £20. Amount taken = £1. Debt remaining £95
The third payment only produces a recovery of £1 so as not to exceed the
weekly cap value.
If any further payments are made during the same week there will be no
further deductions made from the vends for Debt 3.

The maximum debt that can be collected is £21,000

The maximum percentage of the vend is 100%
If the debt to be collected is more than the total amount remaining, then
only the amount remaining will be deducted from the top up.
Note: Payment based debt collection is not controlled by the suspend debt
emergency or the suspend debt disabled flags.
A time-based debt charge is made on a regular time basis. The time period
and the charge to be applied can be configured at any time
Two time-based debt objects are provided to allow for two different debts to
be handled concurrently. For each of these two debts the meter has only an
active register.
The collection is limited by the total amount remaining on the time-based
debt charge, as well as by the amount of credit that is left to be taken in the
credit register.
Time-based Debt collection will not take place if the meter clock is invalid.
If the amount of debt to be collected is more than the total amount
remaining, then only the amount remaining will be collected.
The meter can display the outstanding debt amount for Debt 1 and Debt 2,
it can also display when the debt will be collected, and the amount of debt
that has been paid.
When the emergency credit is in use then either:

Debt collection (standing charge and/or time based debt) will continue
and reduce any emergency credit available, or
