Chase unpaid invoices without becoming your own finance department.

When you run the business yourself, every payment chase takes time away from paid work. 86Hours keeps the invoice, reminders, promises, proof and next task together so you can follow up professionally without rebuilding the story each time.

Start your unpaid-invoice case See how it works

One person should not need five systems

An overdue invoice can quickly spread across email, notes, cloud folders and memory. One 86Hours case gives the chase a clear home without asking you to build an internal finance process.

Invoice and outstanding balance
Every reminder and customer reply
Payment promises and review dates
Supporting files and a dated chronology

Protect the relationship without losing momentum

Start with a factual, professional reminder, record what the customer says and set the next review date. Automatic debtor messages remain disabled, so nothing is sent without your decision.

Keep the first chase calm and specific
Record a promise separately from a payment
Keep genuine disputes visible
Choose when a firmer review is appropriate

Keep proof of the work beside the invoice

A sole trader may need to connect the quote, agreement, completed work and customer conversation. Keep the original sources private and give each accepted item a permanent place in the recovery record.

Quote, order or written agreement
Delivery, completion or approval evidence
Invoice and account records
Messages about changes, disputes or payment

Know what to do when the promise date passes

86Hours keeps the current balance, chronology and next administrative task visible. It helps you prepare an organised record for review without deciding legal merits or filing a court claim.
