How to chase overdue invoices UK
A practical UK workflow for chasing overdue B2B invoices.
Chasing debt is not just sending a sterner email. A useful process checks the facts, separates disputes, calculates what can be claimed, drafts the pack, and keeps a human review step.
2. Calculate the claim.
For qualifying B2B debts, statutory interest is 8% over Bank of England base rate, plus fixed compensation by debt value.
3. Write in stages.
Use a polite reminder first where appropriate, then a firmer statutory-interest notice, then a final notice if needed.
What SHVL adds.
SHVL is for the moment when the overdue list is no longer one email. Upload the CSV, preview the batch, and get a ZIP with editable Word letters, `.eml` email drafts, an Excel calculation log, and README.
It is built for review-before-sending. SHVL does not send emails, post letters, act as a debt collector, or replace legal advice.
