Debt Strategy – No Data?

I am Melina from your BUSI 3300-13465. I am messaging you regarding my debt management portal on my assignment. I followed your class videos and I was wondering if I did something wrong seems like there is not any data.

Mortgage Payoff in One Month

I am attempting to complete assignment 6 and I have run into an issue with the Bayrock portal. I setup my mortgage, car payment, and credit card debt, but when I view the debt management tab, it expects me to pay the mortgage back within a month.

I even changed my numbers to match your example and I still get the same issue. Attached is a pdf showing what I am seeing in my portal.
