In order to submit a change for an Add Charge, the consumer’s account must meet the following criteria:
1. Account is Active
2. Closed Accounts or Accounts with a Pending application status cannot request an Add Charge
3. Account is Current
4. If the account is delinquent, the request cannot be submitted until the consumer has brought it current
5. Account has Credit Available
6. If the max amount of credit is used, an Add Charge cannot be submitted.
## Merchant Adds Charge for Consumer
To Add additional charges to a Consumer’s account, the merchant must access the account via uPortal360. Once the Merchant is in the account, they will navigate the process through the portal using the Add Charge feature located within the Client Actions tab of the sidebar.
