Chase late payment from homeowners and builders, step by step

The problem

Being owed money by a builder or a homeowner is stressful and awkward. A calm, staged set of messages gets most invoices paid without a fight.

What AI does

AI drafts a staged set of polite payment reminders, from a friendly nudge to a final notice, using only your invoice details and the next steps you choose. Nothing threatens action you won't take.

The steps, in short

  1. Note the invoice details, your terms and the type of customer.
  2. Have AI draft the reminders in order of firmness.
  3. Send them a sensible gap apart and keep copies.
  4. If the bill is still unpaid, follow the official routes for your situation.

A short sample prompt

Draft three polite payment reminders, from friendly to final, for invoice [number] of [amount] due on [date]. Customer type: [homeowner or business]. In the last one, mention only these next steps: [steps you will take]. No threats.
