Payment Plan Follow Up

Overview

The Payment Plan Follow Up workflow automatically monitors collection action items in the payment plan follow up step to determine compliance status and handle end-of-term processing. This HOAi workflow ensures strict adherence to payment plan terms, validates payment timing and amounts, and routes non-compliant plans to default status—eliminating manual monitoring time so your team can focus on collection strategy rather than routine compliance checking.

What This Workflow Does

Automated Compliance Monitoring

• Reviews payment plan agreements and identifies key terms (monthly amounts, due dates, term length)
• Automatically tracks payment history against established requirements
• Monitors for special conditions or exceptions in payment agreements

Strict Payment Validation

• Verifies payments are received ON OR BEFORE specified due dates
• Calculates total required payments including plan amounts, regular charges, and new assessments
• Enforces zero-tolerance policy for late or insufficient payments

Intelligent Status Management

• Routes compliant plans back to active monitoring with updated follow-up dates
• Automatically defaults non-compliant plans after specified periods
• Handles end-of-term processing for completed or failed payment plans

Comprehensive Documentation

• Maintains detailed compliance records and payment tracking
• Documents specific reasons for default status changes
• Provides clear audit trails for all payment plan decisions

Workflow Process

Step 1: Payment Plan Review

HOAi locates and reviews the payment plan agreement document, extracting key terms including required monthly payments, due dates, total term length, and any special conditions.

Step 2: Payment Verification

For each monitoring period, HOAi retrieves complete payment history and verifies that the total payments received by the due date meet or exceed the required amount (monthly payment + regular charges + new assessments).

Step 3: Compliance Decision

Compliant plans are returned to active monitoring with reset follow-up dates, while non-compliant plans are stepped to default status with documented reasons for the change.

Step 4: End of Term Handling

For final payment periods, HOAi checks if the balance is paid in full and either closes successfully completed plans or defaults those with remaining balances.

FAQs

Q: Can HOAi handle different payment plan terms for different associations? A: Yes! HOAi reviews each individual payment plan agreement and applies the specific terms, due dates, and conditions documented in that agreement.

Q: What happens if a homeowner makes a partial payment? A: HOAi enforces a zero-tolerance policy for partial payments. Any payment less than the full required amount (including regular charges and assessments) results in non-compliance status.

Q: How does HOAi determine if a payment is late? A: HOAi checks the exact date payments are received against the due date specified in the payment plan agreement. Any payment received after the due date is considered late and triggers default processing.

Q: Can HOAi handle payment plans with special conditions? A: Yes! HOAi reviews the complete payment plan agreement including any special conditions, exceptions, or modified terms that may apply to specific situations.

Q: What happens when a payment plan term ends? A: HOAi automatically checks if the balance is paid in full on the final due date. Plans with zero balances are closed as successfully completed, while those with remaining balances are defaulted.

Implementation & Testing

Your forward deployed engineer will handle the technical setup and configuration. Make sure to tell them:

• What action item(s) your team uses for payment plan follow-up
• Your specific payment plan default policies and timing requirements
• How your team typically handles end-of-term processing
• Any special payment plan conditions or exceptions you use
• Master/Sub association rules for payment plan processing

Once activated, HOAi will begin monitoring your actual payment plan follow-ups and proposing actions based on the workflow.

During the testing phase, you'll review HOAi's work on real payment plans:

• HOAi will analyze payment plan compliance and propose its status decisions
• You can review each proposal and either approve HOAi's recommendation or modify/reject it
• This allows you to see how HOAi handles your specific payment plan terms and requirements
• You can identify any patterns where adjustments to the workflow logic might be needed

The workflow can be fine-tuned based on your approval/rejection patterns before you're comfortable letting HOAi handle these payment plans automatically.

This workflow streamlines your payment plan monitoring by ensuring consistent compliance enforcement while maintaining complete audit trails and homeowner account integrity.
