Stop Losing Money to Non-Paying Clients
You've done the work. You've sent the invoices. You've chased politely. They're still not paying. Most freelancers write off bad debts because the recovery process feels overwhelming. It doesn't have to be.
Start Recovering What You're OwedSound Familiar?
Chasing Gets You Nowhere
You've sent three reminders. Four. Five. Each one more awkward than the last. The client promises to pay 'next week' — every week. At some point, polite emails stop working.
You Don't Know What to Do Next
You know about small claims court, but the process feels intimidating. Letter Before Action? Pre-Action Protocol? MCOL? Most freelancers give up because they don't know the steps — not because they can't follow them.
You're Losing More Than the Invoice
Every day that invoice goes unpaid, you're losing statutory interest (currently 12% per year). On a £3,000 invoice that's 6 months overdue, that's an extra £180 in interest plus £70 in fixed compensation you're entitled to but not claiming.

Common Questions
Is it worth pursuing a small unpaid invoice?
Claims over £300 are generally worth pursuing via small claims court. Court fees start at just £35, and you can recover them if you win. Plus, you're entitled to statutory interest (currently 12% per year) and fixed compensation (£40-£100). Experi calculates all of this for you automatically.
Do I need a solicitor to recover an unpaid invoice?
No. Small claims court (for debts under £10,000) is designed for non-lawyers. You file online via Money Claims Online, present your evidence, and the judge decides. Experi helps you prepare everything you need — the invoice, chase history, interest calculation, and evidence pack.
What is a Letter Before Action and do I have to send one?
A Letter Before Action (LBA) is a formal demand for payment that you must send before going to court. It's required under the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims. The good news: 70-80% of debts are settled after an LBA. Experi generates one pre-filled with your invoice data.
What are my rights under the 2026 late payment reforms?
The 2026 reforms introduced a 60-day payment cap for large businesses, mandatory statutory interest that cannot be contracted away, a 30-day dispute deadline, and new enforcement powers for the Small Business Commissioner. These reforms strengthen your position significantly.
What if I win in court but they still don't pay?
If the debtor ignores a County Court Judgment, you can apply for enforcement — including bailiffs to seize goods, attachment of earnings (deductions from wages), freezing their bank account, or securing the debt against their property. A CCJ also damages their credit rating for 6 years.
