GUIDE · DAY +14 / +21

Pause remaining work, in writing

Continuing to deliver while unpaid trains the client that the invoice is optional. Say so calmly. Keep a paper trail. Not legal advice.

Hi [CLIENT NAME],

Invoice [INVOICE NUMBER] for [AMOUNT] is now 14 days past due.

Please process payment within the next 5 business days, or reply with the blocker so we can resolve it. If I do not hear back, I will pause any remaining work until the balance is cleared.

Thank you,
[YOUR NAME]
