About the Invoice Reminder Generator

Chasing payment is a sequence, not a message, and the sequence only works if the tone moves in one direction. A reminder that opens with a threat at day three loses a client. One that is still apologising at day ninety never gets paid. And a firm message followed by a soft one tells the reader that the deadline was never real.

This writes seven stages, each in the register that stage calls for. A courtesy note a week before the due date, which catches the invoice that never reached the right inbox — the commonest cause of late payment by a wide margin. A neutral note on the day. A first reminder at seven days that assumes an oversight and asks a question. A second at fourteen that asks for a date. A firm one at thirty that states the terms and the interest accruing. A final notice at sixty with a deadline and a stated consequence. And a letter before action at ninety.

Interest and fixed recovery costs are worked out and written in where they apply, so the amount claimed grows visibly rather than being asserted.

Frequently asked questions

A courtesy note a week before the due date catches more late payments than anything sent afterwards, because most late invoices are not refusals — they went to the wrong inbox or are waiting on an approval nobody chased.
