How to Use This Template

This template provides a sequence of payment reminder emails — friendly first reminder, firmer second reminder, and final notice. Each escalation level is professional but increasingly direct, referencing the original invoice number, amount due, due date, and payment methods. The final notice references your late payment terms and the steps you'll take if payment isn't received.

Send the first reminder 3 days after the due date — sometimes invoices genuinely get overlooked. Keep it light: "Just a gentle reminder that invoice #VP-2026-042 for £850 was due on the 15th. Happy to resend if it's gone astray." Send the second at 14 days, referencing the first. The final notice at 28 days should reference your contractual late payment terms and mention that you may need to take further action.

Chasing payment is uncomfortable, and that's exactly why templates help. Having a pre-written sequence removes the emotional decision-making and ensures you follow up consistently. Most overdue payments are resolved by the first or second reminder. The key is to start the process promptly — vendors who wait six weeks before chasing get paid much later than those who follow up at three days.
