What is Work Late Accounts?
Work Late Accounts is a payment follow-up automation tool built into the Carpay dealer site. It helps your team manage late or missed payments more efficiently by automatically contacting customers and prompting them to catch up.
Work Late Accounts can:
Reduce manual outreach for past-due accounts
Improve on-time payment rates
Provide consistent customer follow-up
How Work Late Accounts works
Work Late Accounts uses sequences — predefined sets of messages — to engage customers whose payments are late or about to become late.
A sequence can include:
Text message reminders
Email notifications
Once an account is added to a sequence, Carpay automates the delivery of these messages over time, based on the rules of that sequence.
Setting up a Work Late Accounts sequence
To use this feature:
Log in to the Carpay dealer site in your web browser.
Go to the Work Late Accounts section.
Add customers to the sequence:
Click the Actions button on the right side
Select Add Customers
Use filters to find accounts:
Days Late Filter: Set a range (e.g., X to X days late)
Default view shows 0 to 0 days late
Adjust this filter to display all past-due accounts when needed
You can also search by customer name
Select a predefined sequence (each one has different messages and frequencies).
Select which accounts should enter the sequence (Carpay will automatically only display customers that are currently due as of today and past due.
Activate the sequence.
Once a sequence is active, eligible accounts will automatically receive reminders and messages according to the schedule you specified.
Managing Sequences
After setting up one or more sequences, you can:
View which accounts are currently in a sequence
See message status and response history
Pause or stop a sequence for specific accounts
This makes it easier to keep track of all follow-up activity in one place.
Best Practices
Choose an outreach schedule that aligns with your collections policy
Use clear, professional language in automated messages
Monitor sequence performance and adjust if needed
Combine automation with personalized contact when appropriate
Work Late Accounts is a tool to support your collections team, not replace personalized action when needed.
