For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You need to write what is called a 'letter before action'. It only need be brief and should read something like this:
Dear
RE: Outstanding invoice number [##]
Our records show that the above invoice dated [date] in the sum of [�] is overdue for payment, despite several reminders being sent to you. We enclose a copy of the invoice and the reminder letters that have been sent to you.
Notice to commence proceedings in the County Court
Unless we receive settlement of invoice number [##] within the next 7 working days, we will issue a claim in the Small Claims track of the [name of town] County Court without further notice.
Yours faithfully
......
Make sure you enclose copies of the invoice and all correspondence that has been sent to them. Either hand deliver the letter or send it by Recorded Delivery. If no payment is received within 7 working days (this is a reasonable amount of time to give them), you can pursue a Small Claims action. This is very simple and the County Court can help you with this procedure or post on here for more help.
