What to do when a client doesn't pay

Recurring clients who "forgot" to leave the check — again. Sound familiar? Here's a simple escalation plan:

Day 1–3: Friendly reminder

A polite email referencing the invoice number and amount. Most clients pay after this.

Day 7–14: Firmer follow-up

Mention the late fee clause in your terms. Reference the original due date.

Day 30+: Final notice

State the total with accrued late fees. Mention next steps (collections, lien, small claims).
