Draft letter
Second reminder: invoice reference, original due date, 38 days overdue, accrued interest at the contractual rate, a 7-day deadline, and a named next step if it passes.
How the Debt Reminder Letter Builder works
- Start factual and neutral — most late payments are administrative rather than deliberate.
- Include the invoice number, amount, original due date and how many days overdue; a reminder without those details is easy to ignore.
- Escalate in stages, and only state a consequence you are actually prepared to follow through on.
FAQ
When should the first reminder go out?
A few days after the due date, framed as a check rather than a chase. Waiting weeks signals that your terms are soft, and the longer an invoice ages the harder it gets to collect.
Can I charge interest on late payment?
Often yes, if your contract states it or statutory late payment rules apply in your jurisdiction. Many countries give business creditors a statutory right to interest and recovery costs — worth checking what applies to you.
Should the tone get harsher?
Firmer and more specific, not hostile. A final notice that states a clear deadline and a genuine next step is more effective than one that is angry, and it reads better if the matter is ever seen by anyone else.
