QUICK INVOICE QUESTIONS

Common unpaid-invoice questions

The safest recovery path depends on the agreement, evidence, dispute status and jurisdiction.

What should I gather before chasing an unpaid invoice?

SHORT ANSWER

Keep the quote or contract, invoice, due date, proof the goods or services were supplied, payment history and every message about the debt or any dispute.

Should I send a demand letter?

SHORT ANSWER

A clear written demand is often useful, but required wording, pre-action steps and deadlines differ by jurisdiction. Keep proof of sending and avoid inventing fees or legal consequences.

What if the customer disputes the invoice?

SHORT ANSWER

Separate a genuine dispute about quality, scope, delivery or price from simple non-payment. The correct next step may change once the debt is disputed.
