Error "SafeERC20: low-level call failed" when trying to liquidate certain users

Expert

Hello fellow developers, I'm currently trying to execute Aave liquidations transaction for some users that have a HF < 1, but I'm running into issues with users that are impossible to liquidate. All liquidations involve `renFIL `as the debt token. The users that causing problems are: - 0x1386e0c6ed076b96def5313aa1ab51e5e7f00355 - 0x00324d6fdbaa17b1a5256f396319d513aefbbacf - 0x7ffe5d8396267b6bfd2c0151dd9df77ce98efced Specifically, when I try to execute the liquidation, it fails on gas estimation with the following error: > Error: VM Exception while processing transaction: reverted with reason string 'SafeERC20: low-level call failed', data: Some(Object {"data": String("0x08c379a0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000205361666545524332303a206c6f772d6c6576656c2063616c6c206661696c6564"), "message": String("Error: VM Exception while processing transaction: reverted with reason string 'SafeERC20: low-level call failed'")}) Can anyone provide any insights or suggestions on how I can address this issue? I would greatly appreciate your help in understanding this problem. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide!

You can try simulating in [tenderly](https://tenderly.co/), or if you send the to and from address of the transaction we can try to help debug as well.

    P.S. The transaction didn't hit the mempool, but fails on gas estimation. Noticed it fails on the aToken contract (aRENFIL: 0x514cd6756CCBe28772d4Cb81bC3156BA9d1744aa) when requesting the aave flashloan for renFIL. So it's not the liquidationCall to fail, but the AAVE V2 FlashLoanLogicat line 95: It invokes the aToken function transferUnderlyingTo that fails at line 164 of AToken.sol: IERC20(_underlyingAsset).safeTransfer(target, amount);
