Unpaid invoice: what to do, in order

From friendly reminder to formal notice, without burning the relationship.

D+1 to D+7: the reminder

A short, factual message with no blame. Most of the time the invoice simply slipped through.

D+15: the firm follow-up

Restate the missed due date, mention the contractual penalties, offer immediate settlement by transfer.

D+30: formal notice

Registered letter with acknowledgement. It starts interest running and forms the evidence required before any proceedings.

What avoids all this

A deposit on signature. A client who has already paid 30% settles the balance far more often than one who committed nothing.
