I just had to write the following, which is more than a little annoying as it's for a stupid-small invoice and I went out of my way to help the subject...
”[SUBJECT], I'm afraid the impression I have now is that you're simply avoiding paying this invoice. It is now over 6 weeks overdue, which exceeds the legal right you have to pay an invoice within 30 days.
I am now able to take legal action should you continue to defer — obviously I'd rather not bother going down that route as it's tiresome and expensive for all concerned.
Please get in contact to confirm that you have read this and to let me know when you will be paying this outstanding amount”.
- passive agressive, imo. i would pick up the phone and call them.doesnotexist
- Of course it's passive aggressive - can't come out all aggressive, can I? And his phone number's off...detritus
- ...I'm very much direct, ut this guy's fobbed mye off with what I can only assume is a sob story, but perhaps not, hence passivity.detritus
- the passivity.detritus
- I def wouldn't send that.fyoucher1
- if you have to send something like that you'll never get paid anyways.doesnotexist
- *shrug* whatever, I've never not been paid in the past, and as a pre-lawyer letter, it's quite forgiving, I'd say.detritus
- I say it's fine, and it's honest. Other companies have no shame in asking for money that is owed them.monospaced
