Arrears by ageing period
Late installments rarely start with a struggling client — they start with unclear follow-up. When payment data is spread across files and owners, the problem is discovered long after it could have been handled easily.
Start with one payment schedule per unit
Every unit needs a single approved installment schedule with clear dates and amounts. When there is more than one source of truth, nobody can say with confidence whether a payment actually landed.
Remind before the due date, not after
A reminder a few days before the due date reduces lateness far more than chasing after it has passed. Set automatic per-payment reminders and log every contact attempt so nothing is repeated or forgotten.
Watch ageing, not just the total
A single arrears total is misleading. Break arrears down by ageing period — under 30 days, 31 to 60, over 90 — so you can see where the problem actually sits and what needs intervention now.
Disciplined collection is not more pressure on clients; it is more clarity for your team. With one set of data and automatic reminders, arrears fall without extra effort.
