reminder lists
Explanation:
Yes, I think you can use that. Leo suggests both "dunning list" (in a financial context) and "reminder list" as translations for "Mahnliste". It doesn't say whether "reminder list" is British English, but it is at least recognised by one dictionary as a legitimate alternative to "dunning list".

Around 775 Yahoo hits for the phrase, \"reminder lists\", so it should be fine.

overdue accounts list


Explanation:
or 'accounts in default', or best, 'late accounts', 'list of late payment notices' but not 'dunning lists', which sounds too chummy. You send someone a 'reminder', but never came across 'reminder list', not in US business lingo, anyway.
