Businesses owed money

The customer promised to pay but missed the date.

Broken promises are common. A record of what was agreed, and when, makes the next conversation clearer.

What to have ready

An optional checklist, not a requirement

You don't need to tick anything or have every item before you get in touch. Having these to hand can save time later. If something is missing, just tell us. Your ticks stay on this page and aren't sent to us.

Tick off what you already have, if it helps.

How we help

  1. Follow up on the missed promise promptly

  2. Agree a firm, recorded date or arrangement

  3. Update you and agree next steps if it is missed again

What can happen next

Every case is different. Depending on the evidence and how the other side responds, an account may be paid in full, paid in part, settled by agreement, placed on hold while something is checked, or closed. We will not promise a result before we have looked at the details.

Worth knowing

A broken promise on its own doesn't decide the next step — the evidence and your instructions do.
