Small unpaid invoices add up fast

Each one feels too small to bother chasing. Put them together and it is real money sitting in someone else's bank account.

69%

of Australian businesses are not paid within 30 days

Getting paid late is normal in Australia. This is not just happening to you. (ASBFEO Payment Times Research)

52–55

days to get paid on an average bill

That is the average. Plenty take a lot longer, and those are the ones stuck on your list. (Atradius Payment Practices Barometer AU 2025)

42%

chance a customer goes under within a year

That is once they have missed payments to two other businesses. Leave it too long and there is nothing left to collect. (CreditorWatch Business Risk Index)

Here is the maths. Chasing a $340 invoice properly costs you more in staff time than the invoice is worth. So nobody chases it. Do that 60 times and you have lost tens of thousands of dollars.

Does this sound like your business?

It does not matter what industry you are in. If lots of customers owe you small amounts, this will help.

Healthcare

Medical and allied health

300 patients each owe you $40 to $120 in gap fees. None of them are worth a phone call on their own. Together they are a full-time wage. Your receptionist has better things to do.

Healthcare debt recovery →
Education

Training colleges and RTOs

A course finished six months ago. Forty students never paid their last instalment. They have stopped replying to emails from the same address that billed them.

Education debt recovery →
Professional services

Accountants, consultants and agencies

You did the work and invoiced on 14 day terms. The client pays when they feel like it. Chasing them is awkward because you want to keep them as a client.

Professional services recovery →
Real estate

Property managers

Rent arrears across 200 properties, plus landlords who have not paid their management fees. No single amount is big enough to act on, so the list keeps growing.

Real estate debt recovery →
Retail and wholesale

Suppliers and wholesalers

Forty trade accounts on 30 day terms and half of them are past 60 days. You keep supplying them because you need the volume, and the balance keeps climbing.

Retail debt recovery →
Transport

Transport and delivery

Each job is worth a few hundred dollars. Fifty unpaid jobs is serious money. But chasing each one costs more in admin than the job paid you.

Transport debt recovery →
Only owed one debt? Send a single $29 letter of demand instead. It takes about five minutes.

You upload one file. We do the rest.

No software to learn. No system to set up.

Step 1

Upload your list

A spreadsheet works. So does an export from Xero or MYOB, or our Excel template. We match the columns for you.

Step 2

Fix what we flag

We check every letter: the email can get mail, the customer is in NSW, VIC, QLD or the ACT, and the debt is not too old to chase. Fix it or remove it.

Step 3

Check and pay

Preview any letter before it goes. Pay $29 for each letter by card. Nothing is sent until you pay.

The moment you pay

Letters go out

Every customer gets a formal letter of demand by email. They pay you directly. You track each one in your dashboard.

Four ways to deal with a pile of unpaid invoices

OptionWhat it costsGood forThe catch
Chase them yourself Staff time A short list, or someone with spare hours A $340 invoice costs more to chase than it is worth, so it never gets done
Bulk Debt Recovery $29 per letter Lots of invoices that just need a formal letter Not built for one big debt, or a debt the customer is disputing
Reminder software Monthly subscription Stopping the next pile from building up These customers have already been ignoring reminders for months
Debt collection agency 15% to 25% of what they collect Old or disputed debts that need chasing for months The more you are owed, the more it costs you

Software like CreditorWatch Collect and InDebted sends automatic reminders. That works well for stopping new invoices from going overdue. It does less for a pile that has already built up, because those customers have been ignoring reminders for a while. A legal demand letter is a different thing. It is formal, it uses a lawyer-approved template, and it usually gets a reply. Plenty of businesses use both. If you want to compare properly, read what debt collection really costs in Australia or our comparison against debt collection agencies.

$29 per letter

Each letter costs the same, whether you send 2 or 200.

Each letter is $29, the same as a single letter. No setup fee and no subscription. You only pay for letters that go out. Anything we cannot send is taken off before you pay.

Unpaid invoicesWhat you pay
10 invoices$290
50 invoices$1,450
100 invoices$2,900

Your customers pay you directly. Several invoices owed by the same customer can go in one letter, for one $29.

Common questions

How much does bulk debt recovery cost? ▼
$29 per letter, the same as a single letter. You pay by card when you send them.
How many unpaid invoices do I need? ▼
Two or more. If you only have one, send a single $29 letter of demand instead. It takes about five minutes.
How long does it take? ▼
As long as it takes you to upload your list and check it. The letters are emailed to your customers the moment you pay.
Will this upset customers I want to keep? ▼
You see every letter before you pay, and you can remove anyone you would rather handle yourself. You can also preview the letter itself. A letter of demand is a formal letter, not a phone call from a debt collector. For most businesses it is the thing that finally gets a reply.
What happens if they still do not pay? ▼
About a week after the letter, each customer gets one reminder and we email you one summary of who still owes you. A week after that, we offer to refer anyone still unpaid to a partner law firm. Strata levies run on longer times: 14 days, then 30.
Are there any other fees? ▼
No. You pay $29 for each letter that goes out. Your customers pay you directly.
What do you need from me to start? ▼
A spreadsheet of the debts: each customer's name, email, postal address, amount owed and due date. An export from Xero or MYOB works, or you can fill in our Excel template. The customer must be in NSW, Victoria, Queensland or the ACT.
