Late invoice what to do
When an invoice is late, a calm, dated sequence of messages usually works better than an angry one. Use the scripts and keep the client relationship intact where you can.

Common questions
How soon should I follow up?
A friendly reminder a few days after the due date is common, then firmer messages at set intervals.
Should I charge late fees?
Only if your agreement says so. Put payment terms in writing before the work starts.
Is this legal advice?
No. For large unpaid amounts, ask a lawyer about options in your state.
