Legitimate invoices can remain unpaid simply because a business has no consistent reminder process. You could send polite, scheduled messages using approved account information, document every response and escalate disputes without threats or impersonating legal authorities.
Starting-cost estimates are shown in Nigerian naira and reflect Nigerian reference conditions. If you are outside Nigeria, use them only as a planning reference and check current costs in your own location.
Ask the business owner to supply approved information, response boundaries, working hours and an escalation contact before you begin. You would then organise incoming requests or the follow-up list, respond according to the agreed schedule and record each outcome without making unauthorised promises. Escalate unusual cases promptly and give the owner a clear summary of unresolved matters.
Agree with the client on the authorised account list, contact details, reminder schedule, approved wording, communication channels and escalation procedure before starting. Include calls, SMS, WhatsApp or email costs and the time required to record each response. Protect customer information, keep accurate reminder records and refer disputes or unresolved accounts back to the client without harassment, threats or public disclosure.
