overdue bill

Past-deadline invoice

An overdue bill is a payment request that has passed its due date without being paid.

The phrase emphasizes the delinquency—bills become overdue when ignored or delayed: I found a stack of overdue bills in his desk.

Overdue bills typically accrue late fees or interest and may affect credit ratings if left unpaid.
