You really can't do what you are trying to do. Its sorta a pain about
it.
Not many PPP packages display the information.

test Password = "test", Expiration = "Apr 30 1997"
User-Service = Framed-User
Reply-Message = "Your Account is Overdue"

Note that after April 30, 1997 they will NOT get the Reply-Message, but
a NAK.

Turn off the option "require Secret" in aaccounting and don't use -A on
the command line.
