A formal late payment letter is your first legal step to recovering what you're owed. Here's what it must include and when to send it.
If a client hasn't paid your invoice, a formal late payment letter is the first step in the legal process of recovering the debt.
Send a formal late payment letter when an invoice is overdue and an informal reminder has been ignored — typically when the payment date has passed by at least 7 to 14 days. Do not wait too long. The longer a debt goes unpaid, the harder it is to recover.
