When Should You Send Notice?

It is very common that when companies and individuals do business on credit (without instant payment), sometimes one party can’t make the payment on time. If that happens, it is the responsibility of the other company to send a formal letter of inquiry to find out what is the reason behind the  payment being late or missed  so that even if there was a problem with the other company or individual related to payment, they can explain it in time and there won’t be any need to include the court or legal departments.

For example, a bank gives a loan to a person and they both agree that he will make monthly installments on every 5^th of each month, and after a few months when the bank doesn’t receive the payment on the 5^th, it sends the late payment notice to that person asking about what happened and why didn’t he make the payment.

On the other hand, in a similar situation when the person finds out that he won’t be able to make the payment on time this month, he notifies the bank before the 5^th so that when he can buy some more time and the bank knows that he didn’t late the payment intentionally. This way the bank and the person will resolve the problem with mutual agreement and there won’t be any need to include the court or legal department.

Brief Description of Payment Reminder Notice:

Most of the time, the loan companies and banks send this notice to their clients and loaners who are supposed to make the loan installments on monthly basis and every month before the fixed date comes i.e. 5^th of each month, the bank reminds the clients to make the payment on time. Other than that, companies always do business on credit where they agree to make the payment after some time either in full amount or in installments. In such a case, the company will remember that it has to make the payment but the other company just reminds it about the upcoming payment so there is no chance of anyone forgetting about the payment and later explaining the entire situation to the other company.

Elements of a Payment Reminder Notice:

There is a number of purposes for this notice but the most important purpose is to remind the clients about their upcoming payment schedules. When a company or an individual has to pay a lot of people on monthly basis, it is quite possible that he will forget someone or some company and won’t be able to make the payment on time. To eliminate this common behavior, companies send reminder notices to the clients about their payments so that they can easily remember that they are required to make the payments to the companies that sent the reminder notices.

Brief Description of Missed Payment Notice:

Companies do business on credit all the time because most of the time when a company is conducting business with more than one company, it is not possible for it to make all the payments in full but it has to ask the other clients to agree to receive the full amount in small periodic installments i.e. weekly, monthly or after 3 months. In such a situation, when a company or an individual has to make more than one payment every month to different clients and companies, it is very much possible that he will forget some of the companies or at least one of them. When this happens, the other company reminds him about the payment he missed or forgot to make so that they can stick to the routine. When the client receives such notice, he instantly remembers that he did miss the payment and as the notice includes a time frame of a few days to make the payment, he can easily arrange for the money and make the payment in the given time period i.e. 2 days, 4 days or 1 week.

Elements of a Missed Payment Notice:

• Name of the company or individual who is sending the notice
• Name of the receiver or the company who missed the payment
