An unpaid invoice is a request for payment for goods or services that remains unpaid. The collection process involves documenting the debt, communicating with the debtor, and pursuing enforcement if necessary.
Key steps include reviewing contracts, drafting demand communications, negotiating settlements, and pursuing court options when appropriate.
This glossary defines common terms used in debt collection and how they apply in California.
A formal written notice asking for payment and outlining the debt, supporting documents, and deadlines.
A formal court action filed to obtain a judgment and collection remedies when negotiations fail.
A court order recognizing the debt and authorizing enforcement actions.
Additional charges that may accrue on an overdue balance as allowed by law.
We compare options such as demand letters, mediation, arbitration, and litigation to help you pick the most appropriate path for your debt amount and timeline.
