Dear Sirs,

Outstanding Account Value – £ (Insert sum)

As at today’s date, we have yet to receive payment of the outstanding amount, which is now considerably beyond our agreed payment terms.

Our company has not yet levied any late payment or interest charges under the “Late Payment of Commercial Debt (Regulations) 2013” but we reserve our right to do so should your company fail to make immediate payment of the overdue amount.

We trust this will not be necessary and look forward to receiving payment of the overdue sum by return.

Regards
