What should you do about this overdue invoice?

Answer five questions. The diagnostic will identify the administrative stage, what to ask for, when to follow up and which free template fits.

1. Is the invoice or completed work disputed?
2. How overdue is it?
3. What was the client's latest response?
4. Has a promised payment date already passed?
5. Is the client requesting more work that would increase the unpaid balance?

How the result is chosen

The diagnostic prioritizes a genuine dispute first, then a missed commitment, a claimed release, an identifiable accounts-payable delay, continued-work exposure and finally the age of an unanswered invoice. It does not calculate legal deadlines or decide whether a debt is enforceable.

Important boundary

This is administrative education, not legal, tax, accounting or debt-collection advice. Review the contract and obtain appropriate advice when the amount is material, rights may be affected, insolvency is suspected or the client disputes the obligation.
