Debt Chasing letter

[marie111]

Does anyone have a copy of a standard debt chasing letter or can someone suggest what to write.
I'm owed just over £1000 from a company I did work for back in March, they have always been slow payers, I sent the invoices immediately, then sent a statement of account letting them know they had 7 days to pay, over 3 weeks ago, still no payment.
I'm useless at writing things like this and have trawled the web and can't find anything.

I do feel for you. Slow payers can be the death of small businesses - I've had so many, and it's often the bigger companies too.

Any reminders and demand letters I've sent tend to be ignored and they take their own time anyway.

I have found the best way is to contact the person who hired you in the first place and get them to chase it up internally.

Good luck

Try Thomas Higgins solicitors...there kind of a mail order solicitors who send the various letters out...not sure of any set up costs but the letters they send are cheap(computerized) and generally get the required results :hug:

Most of my debt collection is done through Jack Russell collections, although they should be called bull dogs cause they rip companies apart that owe you money! They take no fees up front and charge 15% on any debts they collect.

Other than that my solicitor is ruthless and has sent court baliffs and winding up petitions for me to people and they have paid within days! But then she is my sister so its free!
