What is a collection letter and when do you send one?
A collection letter is a written notice requesting payment of an overdue debt. Businesses send one when an invoice passes its due date, starting with a gentle reminder and escalating to firmer follow-ups and a final notice if the balance remains unpaid after earlier attempts.
What are the stages of collection letters?
Collection letters typically progress through stages: a friendly first reminder, a firmer second notice referencing the overdue amount and due date, and a final demand warning of further action. Each stage increases urgency while keeping the communication professional and documented for the record.
What should a collection letter include?
A collection letter should state the amount owed, the original due date, the invoice or account number, and a clear payment deadline. It should explain how to pay and, in later notices, the consequences of non-payment. Keeping the tone professional protects the relationship and the record.
