What to do when someone owes you money…

Have you got a client, customer or business associate who just won’t pay up? When someone owes you money it can be a very painful experience. Despite all your efforts, sometimes people think they can get away with severely delaying payment, or never paying at all! Here’s what you can do to get paid, and avoid the stress of the situation.

Firstly, it’s good to make sure you’ve covered all bases. Have you called, emailed, and mailed an invoice to them? Sometimes these situations can arrive from a simple communication error, where someone’s phone is broken, or the first invoice got lost in the mail. But if you’re 100% sure they know about the debt, and just refuse to pay up, then it’s time to take it further.

To recover debt from someone who doesn’t want to pay is a painful experience. They may be a customer who’s missing payment plans, a client who keeps missing the invoice payment date and making excuses, or someone who just flat out ignores your requests and appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth!

Luckily, your options aren’t restricted to just fruitlessly nagging your debitor. You can give a professional to manage the whole situation for you. A licenced debt collector can help you recover the money you are owed, and manage the whole situation in a smooth, professional manner. Plus, they give you the greatest chance of recovering your money!
