Dunning messages are optional printed messages that can be included on ProviderSuite statements to remind customers of delinquent payments.
Dunning is the process of methodically communicating with customers to ensure the collection of accounts receivable. Laws regulate the form that dunning can take. It is generally unlawful to harass or threaten consumers. It is acceptable to issue firm reminders and to take all allowable collection options. The word dunning stems from the 17th century English verb dun, meaning to demand payment of a debt.
