NOTICE OF LATE PAYMENT TEMPLATE FAQ
What is a notice of late payment?
A Notice of Late Payment is a written reminder that a payment is overdue. It identifies the invoice or amount due, the original due date, any late fees (if applicable), and a deadline to pay to avoid further action. It helps document your attempt to collect payment before escalating.
When should you send a late payment notice?
Many businesses send a first reminder shortly after the due date (for example, 3–7 days), followed by a second notice and a final notice if the balance remains unpaid. The right timing depends on your contract terms and relationship with the recipient.
What should be included in a late payment notice?
Include the recipient’s name, the amount due, invoice number, original due date, how to pay, late fees or interest (if allowed by contract), and a clear “pay by” deadline. If you plan to escalate (collections, service suspension, legal action), keep the language professional and factual.
Can you charge late fees or interest?
Often yes, if your contract allows it and local laws permit. If you don’t have a contract, you can still request payment, but you should be careful about adding fees unless clearly disclosed and agreed.
How do you keep a late payment notice professional?
Use a firm but polite tone, focus on facts, and provide an easy way to pay. Keep copies of the notice and any payment confirmations for your records.
