Legal Invoice Chase Letter
A formal, firmly-worded chase that leans on your statutory rights — for serious or repeat non-payers who need to see you mean business.
When to use this
Use the legal tone for serious or repeat non-payers. It formally references the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, your entitlement to statutory interest, and the fixed compensation you can claim — signalling that the next steps are formal ones.
Why it works
A legal-tone letter puts the statutory framework front and centre, which tells a client that you know exactly what you’re entitled to and are ready to pursue it. It’s firm and precise rather than aggressive. NudgeBadger calculates the interest and compensation and cites the Act correctly, so nothing in the letter can be waved away.
