The world is moving towards a predilection for cash only, single currency {{csaprov|CSA}}s, so this objection might soon seem archaic, but note a whopping great hole in the {{tag|CSA}} documentation here. What happens if stuff which, when you posted, was {{csaprov|Eligible Credit Support}}, but after posting it ceases to be eligible? How do you get it back? | The world is moving towards a predilection for cash only, single currency {{csaprov|CSA}}s, so this objection might soon seem archaic, but note a whopping great hole in the {{tag|CSA}} documentation here.

On the face of it, it’s straightforward: | On the face of it, it’s straightforward: | ||
:''the {{csaprov|Value}} of “any items that are comprised in a {{csaprov|Credit Support Balance}} and are not {{csaprov|Eligible Credit Support}} is zero.”'' | |||
So it doesn't count to the {{csaprov|Credit Support Balance}}. But just because something has no “{{csaprov|Value}}” under your {{csaprov|CSA}} doesn't mean it has no value at all. There’s no accounting for taste, after all. If the {{csaprov|Transferee}} doesn't want it, it should give it back, right? | |||
''Sans doubte'', that’s what the boxwallahs at {{tag|ISDA}} had in mind. But — ''whoops'' — that’s not quite what they managed: The mechanism for getting your posted collateral back is to wait for the {{csaprov|Exposure}} to reduce, and then call back [[equivalent]] items to those you posted. But even the day your {{csaprov|Exposure}} goes to (or through) zero, you can call only back {{csaprov|Equivalent Credit Support}} with a {{csaprov|Value}} equal to your existing {{csaprov|Credit Support Balance}} - in the eyes of the {{tag|CSA}}, that is all you have posted. | |||
But the CSA has no eyes for your previously posted, now ineligible, collateral. It is blind to it: your ineligible collateral has a “{{csaprov|Value}}” of zero, the {{csaprov|Transferee}} discharge its {{csaprov|Return Amount}} obligation without giving any of the ineligible stuff back. It gets trapped in a kind of parallel universe, like the Nosferatu the unposted, it neither lives nor dies, but ceaselessly roams the afterlife, seeking true love and haunting the dreams of every [[Mediocre lawyer|negotiator]]. | But the CSA has no eyes for your previously posted, now ineligible, collateral.
