Definition of "Past due accounts"

Funds receivable or payable that have not been paid in a timely manner, commercial credit insurance protects an insured against declines in the value of receivables due to insolvency of a debtor. The insured may turn over to the insurer accounts that are up to 12 months past due or, by special endorsement, those that are 6 months overdue.
