Has anyone used QuikBooks or any of the similiar DIY software? There aren't a lot of resources on it.

I think you're classifying EasyDues as a collection service, like Greek Bill and OmegaFi, which it isn't. EasyDues is a web based version of what you're looking for, and because it doesn't take over your collections (it will still allow you to accept credit card payments online though) it's inexpensive and won't be a huge chunk of your budget.
If you're really set on using a DIY software, our chapter has had the most success just using Microsoft Excel, because the accounting softwares on the market are so different from what our chapter needs. We were able to set up our payment plans, budgets, and keep records of transactions in excel, but this was very time consuming. This is why we switched to EasyDues, since we could handle our own collections, and wanted an inexpensive way to make everything we had previously been doing easier and more effective.
