Dear Sir/Madam,

The customer has not paid their invoice. What should I do now?

Unpaid invoice in Belgium – What to do?

✅ 1. Check the payment term

✉️ 2. Send a payment reminder (friendly)

For example:

Subject: Reminder – outstanding invoice [invoice number]

Dear [customer name],Our records indicate that invoice [number] from [amount] with a due date of [date] has not yet been paid.

Could you please check whether this can still be brought okay?

Thank you in advance for your response!

Kind regards,

3. First and second reminders


4. Collection procedure

If payments are still not received:

  • Send a final reminder stating that you will be contacting a debt collection agency or solicitor.
