Debt Collection - How to Deal with Late Paynents

Several people have asked us about how to go about collecting late payments and invoices that customers are refusing to pay.

The first thing to do is ensure your credit policy is effective. This means having a good understanding of how and when it is sensible to provide credit. For example, offering £5000 on 6 months credit to a business you know is struggling for money would be very bad credit policy!

For information on when to provide credit visit our Business Credit Policy portal.

Debt Collection itself can be hard work; but we have lots of extremely useful information in our Debt Collection portal to help you get the money you are owed. This includes help on obtaining the late payment interest and costs you may legally be entitled to.

We also have a number of collection letters on our free BizStart24 business software.
