Fixed Fee for a Solicitor’s Letter Chasing an Unpaid Invoice

The Scope

Hamshaw can prepare a letter to a creditor stating the debt owed, its basis, the payment date, and (in broad terms) the potential consequences of non-payment. This letter will be sent on Hamshaw letterhead, in order to help indicate to the creditor that payment must be made.

The letter will not be a statutory demand.

The Fee

Hamshaw’s fixed fee for drafting and sending a letter to one of your creditors concerning an unpaid debt is £500.

The Terms

The fixed fee is charged on a per letter, per creditor basis.

More than one letter to the same creditor (whether concerning multiple invoices, or chasing the same invoice(s)) will attract multiples of the fixed fee.

For the fixed fee to apply, there must be both a written contract with the creditor containing an express entitlement to the sum invoiced, and an invoice sent to that creditor for that same sum.

The contract and the invoice must be sent to Hamshaw in advance.

The fixed fee does not cover Hamshaw:

  1. considering, or advising on, the strength of the claim for the unpaid invoice;

  2. considering, or adivsing on, the best strategy for recovering the unpaid sum(s); or

  3. reviewing, or responding to, any reply to the letter.
