commission del credere

Read a random definition: slander of goods

A quick definition of commission del credere:

Commission del credere: This is a fee that a seller's agent receives for making sure that a buyer pays their debt. It's like a guarantee that the buyer will pay what they owe.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Commission del credere is a fee paid to a seller's agent for guaranteeing that a buyer will pay their debt.

Example: Let's say a buyer wants to purchase goods from a seller, but the seller is unsure if the buyer will be able to pay for the goods. The seller can hire an agent to act as a middleman and guarantee that the buyer will pay. In exchange for this guarantee, the agent will receive a commission del credere.

Another example: A company wants to sell their products to a new customer, but they are worried about the customer's ability to pay. They hire an agent to act as a guarantor and ensure that the customer will pay for the products. The agent receives a commission del credere for their services.

These examples illustrate how commission del credere works in practice. It is a way for sellers to protect themselves from the risk of non-payment by buyers, and for agents to earn a fee for providing this protection.

Tell us what's important to you

13:34
as far as i know, that information is simply for data collection purposes
^
13:34
i don't think it has a detrimental effect on your chances of admission
13:34
but also you don't need to tell them anything so lol
Can y'all help me understand something lol. What does it mean for an app to "go complete"? Is that when the school has reviewed it and made a decision?
13:35
Na, it's when they have all the required information
Gotcha. So what would be the difference between received and completed?
Does complete entail like the app + LORs?
13:35
correct
That makes sense. Thank you!
13:36
complete basically means they've acknowledged receipt and it's ready to go under review whenever they start the deliberative process

I still haven't had Chicago or Cornell go complete, but I think that's just how they be
13:41
when did you submit
CaringEquableGuppy
13:42
How do you know when an application is complete? Is it on LSAC or the school's portal?
13:43
it'll be on the school-specific portal
Quillinit
13:44
when they opened
Quillinit
13:45
they both say something along the lines of "received and waiting to be processed"
13:48
anyone have good resources for revising a personal statement for reuse after applying with it last cycle?
13:49
Any guesses when Cornell and Penn CRS fee waivers will go out?
13:51
@Quillinit: from my recollection, chicago and cornell collapse complete/UR1 into a single step, so they may simply not be ready to begin reviewing applications
13:52
i think it's fair to assume, barring a handful of schools like UVA, most schools won't begin reviewing applications in earnest until the beginning of next month at the earliest, so it wouldn't be surprising to hear that applications are just sitting in the queue
13:54
@oakenrays: I was just gonna write a new one personally but I think you want to make it recognizably different from your previous PS
13:56
@baddestbunny: definitely agree that some revision and additional information is warranted but, my why law is the same... I guess just tell the same story in a different way
14:03
ugh fineeee I'll write a new stupid essay
14:07
yeah I told my last essay about a formative experience and am trying to update it now to be about what I’ve learned since that experience
recently wrapped up interview
i re-wrote my PS this cycle when I reapplied
fire drill at work
so lit
