Making a claim against an unpaid invoice

[Buzzsurgeon]

Looking for some advise please. What is the legal minimum period before a claim for an unpaid invoice can be made against a business?

 

Many thanks

In the absence of any other arrangement, 30 days after delivery of goods or services. You can also claim interest and compensation. Google Late Payments Act.

The gov.uk website says 30 days for public bodies and 60 days for businesses,

The new rules are simple – debtors will be forced to pay interest and reimburse the reasonable recovery costs of the creditor, if they do not pay for goods and services on time (60 days for business and 30 days for public authorities).

 

If you have separate Ts & Cs, which state a lesser time period for payment, and ideally where the customer has signed to acknowledge receipt / knowledge of these, and/or where it states such on the invoice, you could pursue it privately...but probably not worthwhile until 60 days has expired really, frustrating though.

 

Good luck with it,
