collection letters

Overdue payment notices

Collection letters are formal written notices sent to debtors demanding payment of overdue accounts.

They typically escalate in tone from polite reminders to urgent warnings of legal action or credit damage: After three collection letters went unanswered, the account was sent to a lawyer.

The term appears in both consumer debt and business-to-business contexts.
