Hi does anybody have a letter i can send to remind ex customers that owe me money please?
Im owed from a few and im fed of being fobbed off.time to scare them.
I just want to send them a tame letter before going to solicitors.
Thanks

TAME LETTERS HAVE LITTLE OR NO EFFECT. You need to make them understand you mean business. The sooner you do this the better chance you will stand of been paid. THE LONGER THE PROCESS DRAGS ON THE LESS CHANCE YOU HAVE OF BEEN PAID. YOU NEED TO TAKE A BOLD STANCE.

Dear Customer,
My records show that there is £xx outstanding from the last window clean on <<insert date>>.
Payment options are available at pay.iconicwindowcleaning.co.uk
As a small, family run business we appreciate timely payment for services provided.
If you have paid within the last few days please ignore this letter.
Kind Regards,

Aworka will print an account of each customer, its a statement of the last 6 months cleaning, or whatever period of time you set it to, that ought to do the trick, a few tasty words inserted at the bottom of the statement of your choosing should suffice, followed by a phone call perhaps.
Ive chased a few up tonight, I also have a card machine, they pay over the phone and find it highly convenient. Make it easy thats what they like.
'Oooh, MY window-cleaner uses a card debit machine!' They love it. :)

Although not strictly kosher this usually works ;)
Dear Mr ..........
Despite numerous attempts at recovery your debt for our services remains outstanding,
This will be my final request at recovery personally.
If this debt is not cleared within 7 days I am left with no choice but to pass the debt onto a recovery agency, the £75 cost incurred by passing it on will be charged to your account.
If they fail to recover the debt they will take action via her majesty’s court service.
Please note: Interest will be charged from the date the debt became due as set out in the Late Payment of Commercial Debt Act 1998.
Additionally we also report any outstanding arrears with credit reference agencies 28 days after the date of this letter, which may affect your ability to obtain credit in the future.
Current outstanding debt £xxx
If you wish to discuss this matter personally please do not hesitate to contact me, Ignoring a debt does not make it go away.
Yours sincerely.

Why not simply go out and collect off the late payers?? Wait untill it gets to 3+ cleans so makes it worthwhile.
I have about 200 odd customers that just no matter what dont send cheque or pay online so i have no choice but to collect, they always pay when i knock and give a fob story how they forgot etc.
