Non payment of invoices

[Safe Collections]

Who pays the fee?

With small claims the agency can just go bust or refuse to pay. If they do the latter you will have to take further action to get the money out of them.

With a debt collector they will tell you if they can get the money out of the the agency so you won't be chasing a debt that won't be paid. They don't get paid recovery costs if they can't get the debt money out of them.

You can add "reasonable" debt recovery costs on to the amount as long as like in small claims cases you warn the agency they will be charged for debt recovery in all your correspondence with them.

If we can recover the "reasonable" costs from the debtor in addition to the principal sum then the debtor pays our fees and the creditor receives payment in full.

If we only recover the principal sum we ask the client if they want us to continue to pursue the costs, but we aren't going to obligate our client to take legal action to recover a smaller sum if they do not wish to do so. So in those cases the creditor pays our fee.

If we don't recover we don't charge Nice and simple.

Thanks for the replies. I've sent a demand letter to them pointing out I'll start charging interest and adding a debt collection fee and I've heard back from them stating that the payment will be processed on the next invoice run, which is mid-next month. I guess if this doesn't happen then I'll be contacting the debt collection team.

Thanks,

You can still invoice for the interest. Say you will waive it if the original debt is settled within N days.
