How do I chase without the awkward call?
Small, planned nudges, from friendly to firm.
A friendly nudge the day after it’s due, a firm reminder at 14 days late, a final notice at 30.
Decide the steps once, then just follow them.
Questions
Can I charge for paying late?
Only if your bill said so up front, and the law allows it. Check the rule where you work.
Text or email?
Whichever they answer; Money chase opens either on your phone, filled in.
What after the final notice?
Call them. If that fails, ask how debts are collected where you work.
