When a client does not pay
We hope every invoice is paid on time. Sometimes it is not, and then we handle the collection process for you, with our partner.
It starts only when you ask
How collection works
- 1Tell us about the unpaid invoiceIf your client has not paid by the due date, report it to customer service or through the platform.
- 2Collection beginsA reminder and a payment demand go out automatically. Collection proper we start at your request.
- 3We aim for a settlementAn amicable resolution is always the first goal. Legal collection does incur costs, and permission for those is asked in advance.
A payment reminder goes out automatically seven days after the due date, and one payment demand follows it. Both are included in the invoicing service.
Collection proper begins at your request, and it is an additional service that is not included in the base price. That is how clause 11 of the terms defines it, and the terms govern. You still do not have to learn collection law or deal with the agency yourself. We handle that once you ask.
An invoice already late?
When a client has missed the due date, the order matters. The reminder, the payment demand, then collection proper, and what you are entitled to charge at each point.
