Payment Advice Letter
Payment advice letter could refer to one of two things:
- A payment reminder letter that a supplier or vendor sends to a client to ask them to pay an overdue invoice.
- A letter sent by a client to inform a provider that they made a payment.
In this article, we are going to explore both types of letters.
How to write a letter to remind a customer of their payment?
- Mention the unpaid invoice number, the date of the invoice, and the amount that needs to be paid.
- Make it clear to the client to which account this invoice belongs to and for against which service.
- Specify a deadline for the payment.
- Explain what happens if the payment is not made on time.
