Interest charges on Unpaid Invoices with no further work

We have clients who we have ceased to act for that still have outstanding accounts. How can I send them a monthly invoice to charge them the interest on their outstanding account?

At the moment the only way I can see it working is to charge them a $0.10 disbursement every month to trigger an invoice, charge interest on the overdue debt and then waive the $0.10 disbursement the next day so it doesn’t add to the balance.

We have the same recurring challenge. 

The work-arounds suggested above and in the linked thread are still way too clunky and hands-on.

We’ve reverted to using a dummied-down version of an Account Statement.  There’s no payment link in that format, but it provides the necessary detail.

There really should be something more intuitive.

@JG3 Can I ask how you bulk send out the account statements? We have over 250 active clients that expect a monthly statement as well as the clients who are no longer engaged with us but require the statement to show the interest accrual.

@AMC Amanda Sorry, when we send out account statements, they’re not too often (usually an interest-charged or file closing thing).  I don’t think there’s a way to send them out in bulk.
