#PAYING BILLS IN TIMELY MANNER HOW TO#
However, knowing how to handle a late payment is important for ensuring that your agency runs smoothly. Fortunately, it's usually due to miscommunication or a mistake.
#PAYING BILLS IN TIMELY MANNER UPDATE#
Luckily, in my experience, most clients will provide payment or at least an update on when you can expect payment with just a follow-up or a threat to stop working. If a client still won't pay an invoice, it's best to cut ties and not continue the relationship. Unfortunately, if a client still doesn't pay and you don’t want to take on the attorney's fees or costs associated with small claims court, there may not be a lot you can do. However, if it's a large chunk of cash, you may not be able to afford to let it slide. If it's a small amount, you may not want to send a letter or threaten to move the case to small claims court. C hoosing to escalate the situation to this step may depend on the amount on the invoice. Sometimes this can ignite enough of a spark to get your payment processed and you can continue your work. Send them a message simply stating that any current or future work will be put on hold until you receive payment for past invoices. This can prevent you from having any additional late invoices in the future. If you're at this point, let the client know before you stop working. If you do ongoing work for a client who's late paying you, cease any further work until they get back in touch about the current state of their unpaid invoice. Simply resending the invoice and reminding them that it's overdue can get your invoice paid, or they might reply to let you know whether any external issues are preventing them from paying. Sometimes your clients just need to be reminded that the due date has come and gone. It's important to maintain open communication with clients at all times, so if a new client is late to pay, ask for a phone call or offer solutions, such as a payment plan, to ensure that your invoices are paid. You don't want to start the relationship on the wrong foot, so you may want to send more reminders or cease working as fast as you would with a long-term client. However, if this is a new relationship and you haven't established trust yet, it may influence the steps you choose to take. With a new client, you may want to have your guard up a bit more about late payments. If you have a long history and this is the first payment they’ve missed, you might want to take a more relaxed approach. Before you take any further steps, look at the relationship you have with the client.
