Late-payment guidance

Build a proportionate chase before formal escalation.

Start by verifying the invoice, due date, amount and contact details. Record each chase, deal with genuine disputes and keep formal steps proportionate to the facts.

01

Check before you chase

Confirm delivery, contractual payment terms, credits, partial payments and the correct customer contact.

02

Escalate deliberately

A formal letter should follow a reviewed record, not replace it. Seek professional advice where validity, jurisdiction or insolvency is uncertain.
