The purpose of this guide is to explain how you can delay Collection messages being sent to a delinquent Customer if they give you a date they promise to pay, such as their next payday. If a Customer misses their promised to pay date, they will be re-entered into the Collection workflow. Please check with your management team before using this feature so you can act according to their policies. The promised to pay date should always be in the very near future.
