What is a claim?

A claim is a cover which has been requested for collections. You have a specific number of days called a "claim window" after the due date is passed to file a claim.

  1. A "claim" is requested for a cover when payment is not received by the buyer.
  2. The "claimStatus" starts at "assessing", and stays in assessing until the claim handling has completed.
  3. If the buyer pays the invoice/debt you must settle the claim to clear the coverage and stop collections.

There is a lot of associated data for posting a claim.
