"Hi name, just a friendly  reminder re window cleaning. Amount due £x. Best wishes."

It's often met with. "Oh, Completely forgot sorry. I'll sort it now. Thankyou for the reminder."

When I first take on a customer I tell them that I will send the reminder every three or four days until payed. I've only ever had one person complain at the reminder sent this way.

I dont change my text for slow payers i just keep sending the same one until they either pay or i get fed up and dump them.

Sometimes I'll send a customer a statement of account printed off CP but this is very rare(maybe 6 or 7 times per year)

Hello Tony
For repeat offenders use GO cardless

I was reluctant to use it thought it woul be complicated it isn’t

And I bill customer on the day I clean and not an exact date, which won’t work for me as a one man band it’s difficult to stay on exact dates

For me anyway
Thomas Higgins is another one
A solicitor that handles debt collection

Basically sends a letter before legal action letter
Use to be £2.99
Set up about 7 years ago never used 😁

Only had to mention if debt not recovered would be passed on to them


That was real last case messer scenario’s

[Simon Trapani]

I just email/text them a statement from aworka. They get the hint.

Pay up or we'll send the heavies 'round
