Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Section 3.6(a) and 3.6(b) of the Amended and Restated Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of July 30, 1998 (the "Agreement") among Metris
Receivables, Inc., as Transferor; Direct Merchants Credit Card Bank, N.A.
(DMCCB, N.A.), as Servicer; Bank of New York (Delaware), as Trustee; MBIA
Insurance Corporation, as Enhancement Provider; and Moody's Investors Services,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, and Fitch IBCA, as the Rating Agencies
(collectively, the Specified Users); we have applied the agreed-upon procedures
enumerated below, to selected Metris Master Trust (the Master Trust) Daily
Reports and Settlement Statements prepared by DMCCB, N.A. during the period from
January 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999 (the Period). We understand that the Daily
Reports and Settlement Statements are prepared in accordance with requirements
described in the Agreement and the relevant Series Supplements. We have
performed these procedures solely to assist the Specified Users in evaluating
the Servicer's compliance with these requirements.
This agreed-upon procedures engagement was performed in accordance with
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the
Specified Users of the report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding
the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for
which this report has been requested or for any other purpose. Capitalized terms
used herein without definition will have meanings ascribed to them in the
Agreement or relevant Series Supplements
Unless otherwise indicated, the following conventions have been adopted in
presenting our procedures and findings:
The term "compared" means compared to and found to be in agreement with,
unless otherwise noted. Such compared amounts and percentages are deemed
to be in agreement if differences are attributable to rounding or if
differences are less than $1,000.
The term "recomputed" means calculated and found the amount so calculated
to be in agreement with, unless otherwise noted. Such recomputed amounts
and percentages are deemed to be in agreement if differences are
attributable to rounding or if differences are less than $1,000.
We have performed the following procedures:
Section 3.6 (a)
1. For five haphazardly selected days (the Five Days) within the Period, we
obtained the Daily Report and compared sales, cash advances, payments,
interest income, charge-offs, miscellaneous charges and adjustments amounts
set forth on the Daily Report with corresponding amounts set forth in the
Servicer's accounts receivable reports and recomputed the mathematical
accuracy of the amounts and percentages within the Daily Report.
2. For the Five Days, we compared the cash transfers indicated on the Daily
Reports to entries on the relevant Master Trust bank statements.
3. For three haphazardly selected fiscal month ends (the Three Months) in the
Period, we compared the aggregate customer balances in the "30-59 day
delinquent" and "90-119 day delinquent" categories as reflected on the
monthly Settlement Statements for the Three Months to the corresponding
amounts set forth in the Servicer's accounts receivable aging reports for
such month ends.
4. For five haphazardly selected weekly periods (the Five Weeks), we compared
beginning and end of week total receivables balances on the Servicer's
accounts receivable reports with the corresponding balances on the
corresponding Daily Reports and recomputed each Daily Report's beginning
and ending Principal Receivables balances and Finance Charge Receivables
balances, based on the information contained in such Daily Reports, for
each of the days within the Five Weeks.
5. For the Five Days, we recomputed the daily allocation of Principal and
Finance Charge Collections to each series issued under the Agreement based
upon information appearing on the Daily Report.
6. For one monthly Settlement Statement in the Period, we compared the amounts
and percentages appearing therein to the information appearing in the
corresponding Daily Reports or the reports which are the source of such
amounts and percentages or recomputed such percentages to the extent they
were derived from such information.
Section 3.6 (b)
7. For four haphazardly selected monthly Settlement Statements in the Period,
we compared amounts and percentages appearing therein to the information
appearing in the corresponding Daily Reports or other reports which are the
source of such amounts and percentages or recomputed such percentages to
the extent they were derived from such information.
The above stated agreed-upon procedures were performed with no exceptions.
Management of DMCCB, N.A. has represented to us that the Daily and Monthly
Reports provided to us are the same as those provided to the Trustee.
We were not engaged to, and did not, perform an examination, the objective of
which would be the expression of an opinion on the servicing records.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional
procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been
reported to you.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Specified
Users and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these Specified Users.
