Frequently Asked Questions - Insured Emails
Is the insured notified of late fees by email?
Yes, the overdue email reminder gives a heads-up to the customer days before any late fee is applied, along with the amount of the late fee and the date it will be enacted on the payment due.
Late fees are about 5% of monthly payments in most scenarios, with a few exceptions.
Late fees are not applied immediately upon missing an installment. In most states, they are applied five days after the due date. Check the PFA to see the exact details of your customer's late fees.
Can I add multiple emails for the insured?
At this time, only one email is allowed on each program. Adding multiple email addresses will cause all emails sent to be undeliverable.
