Payment collections letters are an important part of the debt collection process. They warn of the consequences of nonpayment, and offer a way to pay. While an aggressive letter may be effective, it can also alienate a client and lose future business. A more compassionate, amicable approach will help you retain your client.
While these letters can vary in tone and presentation, they all have some of the same basic information. They all mention the due date, the terms and conditions for repayment, and any action that can be taken legally if the debtor does not pay up by then. They also stress the importance of settling the debt as soon as possible.
When drafting a payment collections letter, always remember that your aim is to persuade the customer to send the money. You should avoid using harsh language, and avoid using social media or text messages. You should also make the letter as polite and professional as possible, and always assume that the customer will pay.
You should include your reason for writing the letter. A late payment letter should be sent a week after the invoice has been due. It should contain a formal request to make the payment. The letter should be respectful and friendly, especially if it is the first time you are writing to a customer. It is also advisable to include a copy of the invoice or statement, if you have more than one. If the customer still has not made the payment, you should send a second letter stating the new due date.
