Document background
The Payment Reminder Letter is a crucial document in Danish business operations, serving as a formal mechanism for requesting payment of overdue amounts. It is typically issued after an invoice payment deadline has passed and before initiating formal debt collection procedures. Under Danish law, particularly the Interest Act and Debt Collection Act, creditors are entitled to charge reminder fees and interest on overdue payments, which must be clearly communicated in the letter. The document should be used when initial payment terms have not been met, but before escalating to more severe collection measures. It must include specific information such as the original invoice details, outstanding amount, payment instructions, and any applicable fees or interest. The timing and content of the Payment Reminder Letter are important as they can affect the creditor's rights to collect additional fees and may impact future legal proceedings if necessary.
