Debt collection letters for unpaid invoices

Compatible region(s): Scotland Northern Ireland England Wales

This product creates 3 debt collection letters demanding payment for an overdue invoice(s).

You can use it if you have sent invoices (one or more) to a consumer or business for goods supplied or services performed and those invoices remain overdue for payment.

These letters calculate the total outstanding debt as at the date of each letter, including, in some cases, any interest due on the overdue amounts.

The second and third letters can only be used if you've had no reaction from the debtor in response to the previous letter. The third letter is a final 'letter of claim' (also known as a 'letter before action'), which threatens court action if you don't get a response. This also includes the information sheet, reply form and financial statement form that you need to give to the debtor before you can go to court.

These letters are suitable for use where the goods were delivered or services were performed within the UK.

In England and Wales, you can't use them during any 'breathing space' period that the recipient may have been granted under the Debt Respite Scheme.
