Hi,

My suggestion would be to set up a meeting and discuss it.

I would put the account on stop for now, but as they are an established customer and trading for years, I would not sent them to a debt collecting agency, as it might ruin your relationship with them and you don't want to loose this customer.

I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Rinske

Your request starts rather like a problem at work, but then reads rather more like a unit 15 task.
I hope you don't mind these two questions, "is this a task that you have been set as part of your course?"
"will the answer you submit be assessed to judge whether you are competent or not?"

From my point of view I'm happy to help, but I wouldn't want someone to use my answer as part of his submission.

hi

have you thought about penalty charges? for each day the invoices are not paid that are after the due date an interest can be added


As the company wouldnt want to incur charges they would pay on time


It is called "Improving Customer Behaviour"
