Final Reminder Before Action template

Chases an overdue invoice before formal pre-action correspondence.

The law it is built on

A courtesy chaser before the formal letter before action. Statutory interest and compensation under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 may be claimed on commercial debts.

Before you use it

This template is not advice on your situation. What you sell, who you sell it to, what you have already agreed and what has already gone wrong decide whether a clause protects you, so read it against your own business before you issue it and change what does not fit. If the other side has already threatened a claim, the matter is a dispute and goes to AD Solicitors.

Filling it in

Everything in square brackets is a blank for you to complete: names, dates, figures and the terms particular to your business. Read the whole document before you send it, and check the clauses on what happens when something goes wrong against how your business operates.

If a clause does not apply, delete it rather than leaving it blank.

Common questions

How do I get this template?

The library is included in every Buzz Legal subscription, which starts at £49 +VAT a month, and is updated as the law changes. If you need only this document, we will draft it around your business for a fixed fee agreed before work starts.

Will it be right for my business?

It covers what the law requires. Have the clauses on liability, on what happens when things go wrong and on who owns what read against your own business before you rely on them.

What does a review or drafting cost?

A contract review is a fixed £249 +VAT and covers one document read in full with the risks marked up. Drafting from scratch is priced per job and agreed in writing before anything starts. Subscriptions start at £49 +VAT a month.
