    Abstract: A method of debt cancellation is described. Occurrence data representative of an occurrence of a triggering event on a customer is received. A current benefit amount associated with the customer is determined, and a current amount of debt in the account of the customer is determined. A determination is made as to whether the current amount of debt in the account of the customer is less than the current benefit amount associated with the customer. The current amount of debt in the account of the customer may then be canceled to zero, and a new current benefit amount associated with the customer is maintained as the difference between the current benefit amount and the current amount of debt in the account of the customer prior to canceling.
