Suing for non-payment of invoice, advice wanted

There's always someone who'll post that payontime link, but it's entirely useless IMO.

Yep, those template letters, interest calculators, guides on checking credit worthiness, FAQs, etc etc etc....totally useless cos everybody already knows all of that

The one time I had an outstanding debt, I followed the advice on payontime and got my money. I also got fairly quick responses to a couple of queries via email.

I just meant aside from the legal stuff about interest etc., all that site tells you is what should be common sense. And if you can't write a letter, you've no business being in business.

I think the letter that Lovetts sent on my behalf cost me £2. £2! If you've already contacted the client a couple of times without success, as happened to me, there seems little point following the payontime advice and sending another more formal letter. Just progress straight to the solicitor's letter to show that you're serious. But YMMV.

Fair enough. £2 for a letter though?! Now that is a surprise, I would have expected at least one zero on the end of that, if not two!

Fair enough, we are (unsurprisingly) big fans of the site so we will stand down from defcon 3

But you would be surprised by the amount of business people we talk to on a daily basis who could benefit immensely from reading the "common sense" stuff over at Payontime...
