Hi all,

​​
Thank you very much for the swift and useful replies. Our contracts do have
an interest clause, but at BoE+5% it is obviously too lenient!

I'll talk through all of the suggestions with my partner, but I'm leaning
towards a simple "3 strikes" rule for late payments. You're right, is
rather pay someone else to chase debts than it ruin my quality of life.

Any recommendations for late payment chasing agencies that are above board?
​

​Thanks for all the helpful replies,

​​
Fox
