The problem

Professional services: the highest rate of invoice disputes

Consultants, accountants, lawyers, and agencies face a unique challenge: the work is intangible. Clients often claim they never received the deliverable, dispute the scope, or simply stop responding. A formal letter of demand triggers a legal paper trail and often prompts payment without further escalation.

For recurring retainer agreements, a letter of demand citing the specific unpaid months and the contract terms is particularly effective — it makes ignoring the debt legally risky for the client.

Frequently asked questions

What if the client says they're not happy with the work? ▼
A client cannot withhold payment for undisputed parts of an invoice simply because they have a complaint. Address the specific complaint separately, and demand payment for the undisputed amount. A letter of demand makes this distinction explicit.
Can I charge interest on an overdue invoice? ▼
Yes, if your contract includes an interest clause — or under the statutory rate (9% p.a. in NSW). Use our debt calculator to include interest in your demand.
The client ghosted me. What do I do? ▼
Send a formal letter of demand. Silence is not a dispute — it's a non-response, which strengthens your position in any future court action.
Can I send a letter of demand to an interstate client? ▼
Yes. Letters of demand can be sent to any Australian business regardless of state. Jurisdiction for court action is typically where the contract was performed or where the debtor is located.
