What evidence turns an invoice into a winning claim?
Signed delivery notes, acceptance emails, completion reports and any part-payment. Part-payments are especially useful because they show the debtor accepted that the debt existed. A statement of account that matches each invoice line by line saves time at every stage.
What if the customer keeps promising to pay?
Promises are not payment, and each one can delay action while limitation and the debtor's finances move against you. Send a formal notice with a clear deadline. Keep the promises in writing, because they are admissions.
Which route is fastest?
Where the debt is clear and documented, a payment order application may be available and can be quicker than an ordinary claim. If the debt is disputed or the paperwork is thin, the claim runs normally. See outstanding commercial debt recovery.
