I'll take your advice by following up with an invoice overdue e-mail next week, then a final reminder 4 weeks later.
I'm in Scotland. If the invoice remains unpaid after that period I will take the client to the Small Claims Court. It's very typical that if a case is submitted to that court, the accused ends up paying the invoice before the hearing date.
- klearvue 14y agoSince you are in Scotland and the invoice is overdue, you can legally add £40/£70/£100 penalty to your invoice (which one depends on the invoice amount) + charge 8.5% annual interest. These do not have to have been specified in your contract with the client as they come under provisions of the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act.
