Collection process/tracking

I'm looking for suggestions on recording collection notes (regarding customer past due invoices) in QBO.  I would like to record what I've done in order to collect payments that would ideally print on the Collections Report.  I currently use a custom field on the invoice but it's not enough room in a lot of cases.
