Testing CAM Files With ISAC
Prior to exchanging “live” records with ISAC, partners are required to submit test files to ISAC for each CAM record type. Only after the test files have been successfully processed will "live" records be approved for submission. To establish a testing schedule, you may contact Lender Services at isac.lenderservices@isac.illinois.gov.  The following information should be provided when scheduling testing:
  • Demographic information (contact name, address, lender code, phone number, FAX number, and e-mail address); 
  • Preferred transmittal method (FTP or SMTP/POP3);
  • Transmit address (FTP and SMTP/POP3);
  • Preferred encryption (Open PGP or Secret Agent);
  • Number of discretionary forbearance months allowed by lender;
