Chase an overdue invoice and actually get paid — a firm-but-friendly escalation ladder that protects the client relationship until it's clear the relationship is the problem. Use when asked to chase an unpaid invoice, my client hasn't paid, write a payment reminder, or how do I get a late-paying client to pay. Produces a staged sequence of messages (gentle nudge → firm reminder → final notice → next steps) timed to the overdue days, with late-fee and work-pause options and a note on what to keep for the record.
🗣 Say this to your agent
“A client is 3 weeks late on a £2,000 invoice — write me the reminders.”“How do I chase an unpaid invoice without losing the client?”“They keep promising to pay and don't. What's my next message?”“Invoice is 45 days overdue and they've gone silent — what now?”“Write a firm final notice before I take this to small claims.”
What to give it
▸The invoice — amount, invoice date, due date / payment terms, and how overdue it is now
▸The relationship — long-standing good client, new client, or already rocky
▸Your terms — do they allow late fees/interest? Is more work in flight you could pause?
▸What's happened so far — any replies, promises, or silence
▸Your goal — keep the client and get paid, or get paid and move on
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓The first message assumes good faith and is genuinely friendly
✓Each step is firmer and includes invoice #, amount, and a specific new pay-by date
✓Late fees are only invoked if the stated terms allow them
✓Consequences are phrased as policy, not threats
✓Timing is tied to days overdue, not emotion
✓A record-keeping note is included for the formal path
⚠️ What it refuses to do
**Opening angry** — a hostile first nudge burns a client who simply forgot.
**Vague reminders** with no invoice #, amount, or date — easy to ignore.
**Empty threats** — mentioning small claims you won't pursue weakens every future message.
**Inventing late fees** your contract never specified.
**No paper trail** — chasing by phone only, with nothing saved for a formal claim.
