Payment Follow Up Letter

Last Updated On September 14, 2018 By Letter Writing

Business firms occasionally will have to face the scenario where some customers do not make payments for services on time. Also, there may be instances where there is no response from the customer’s side to messages or emails about the payment. At this stage Business firms will have to send follow-up letters; constantly reminding the customer about the payment that is due. A Payment Follow Up Letter mainly serves the purpose of reminding the customer about the remaining payment and the consequences that may arise if they don’t make the payment on time.

Even though it’s a rather annoying situation from the business firm’s point of view, it’s always wise to follow a polite yet firm approach while writing these kinds of letters. It’s essential that the healthy relationship with the customer is not broken and it’s equally important to make the customer understand the inconveniences being faced by the business firm. Taking both these factors into consideration, always write an informative letter with sufficient details about the payment to be made, details of the last mail/message regarding the payment and a little reminder of the steps that the company may have to undertake in the future if the payment is not made. Consider the sample and format for more
