Dear Sirs,

Re: Outstanding Monies due to Creditor: Amount - £5,000

Our Ref: Insert here Date of Invoice

Customer Ref: Any PO or Order Number PO 11111  

We are writing to you concerning the monies outstanding on Invoice number 999999 dated 01/01/2000 for the amount of £0,000.00 for the agreed contracted works. We have previously provided you with the relevant invoices and statements. Any request for a further copy invoices, or other documents relating to these outstanding monies, should be made by return.

We refer you to the Practice Direction (Pre-Action Protocols) in particular paragraph 15 and the sanctions for non compliance. You can find these on the Ministry of Justice website at: http://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/pd_pre-action_conduct

Unless payment of this sum is received within 7 days of the date of this letter, further action may be taken that includes referring this matter to a debt recovery agency and/or court proceedings, which will be enacted against you without further notice.

Any further action will include all applicable fees due under the law on late payments as well as  claim for interest from the due date of the invoices, court fees and recovery costs. Where appropriate, interest, compensation and further costs under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 will be claimed. Any further invoices which become due will be included in the claim.

If a Judgment is subsequently registered against you it is likely to affect your credit rating.

We look forward to your prompt response.

Yours faithfully
