Hi,

I did a one off job for a letting agent, it was short notice and I didn't envisage doing any more work for them. 

I invoiced them on 20/08/08, then sent them a reminder at the end of september. 

I hadn't received any payment by the end of October so I have sent them a letter saying pay in the next 7 days or I will send details of our late payment fees in a bid to try and get them to pay.

They haven't paid 2 weeks on so I need to send them this letter.  But I don't have any late payment fees.

Does anyone do this and what charge to do you apply?

Thanks

Ange

I would pop in and see them or give them a call first, and see what they say as they might pay you there and then. Then i would wait a week then send them a reminder.

the late payment fee we charge after 30 days is 8% of the outstanding balance. If that doesnt help we send them a recorded delivery letter threatening legal action if not paid within 7 days.. thats usually does the trick.. you may lose there custom though, so it depends how much you value there business..
