There may be times when YouLi's Automated Payment Reminders aren't doing the trick and you want to reach out to people individually (but efficiently!) for overdue payments. Read on to see how!
How can I tell if Travelers missed any payment Due dates?
You can pull reports to see all Travelers who are late on paying their installments. There are a couple of ways to find this, but it will not be specific to an installment; it will show ALL Travelers past due on any installments.

Tips to Avoid Late Payments
Use the above to deal with the ones that sneak through, but here are some tips to avoid having too many!
- We recommend adopting AutoPay so your Travelers agree to automated payments when they pay their deposit
- Other clients implement a late fee penalty using LINE ITEMS, it's amazing how many people pay on time when there is a $50 late fee applied for late payments.
