muistutuslaskun

A muistutuslasku, often translated as a reminder invoice or dunning notice, is a document sent by a creditor to a debtor who has failed to pay an outstanding debt by the original due date. Its primary purpose is to remind the debtor of the overdue payment and to request prompt settlement. A muistutuslasku typically includes details of the original invoice, such as the invoice number, date, amount, and original due date. It will also clearly state that the payment is overdue and specify a new, often shorter, deadline for payment.

In addition to the payment reminder, a muistutuslasku may also inform the debtor about potential consequences of continued non-payment. This can include the imposition of late payment fees or interest charges, as well as the possibility of further collection actions. The language used in a muistutuslasku is generally formal and firm, aiming to convey the seriousness of the overdue debt without being overly aggressive in the initial stages. It serves as a crucial step in the debt collection process, offering the debtor a final opportunity to settle the amount before more stringent measures are taken. The issuance of a muistutuslasku is a common practice in many countries as part of standard business and financial procedures.
