Salutation

Dear {{contact_person_name}},

Opening Statement

This letter serves as a follow-up regarding the outstanding balance on your account, {{account_number}}, amounting to {{currency}} {{outstanding_amount}}. We understand there may be a dispute or discrepancy preventing the settlement of this account, and we are committed to resolving this promptly to facilitate payment.

Our records indicate that the following invoice(s) are currently in dispute:

Nature of Dispute: {{dispute_details_1}}

Invoice Number: {{invoice_number_2}}, Date: {{invoice_date_2}}, Amount: {{currency}} {{invoice_amount_2}}

Nature of Dispute: {{dispute_details_2}}

Please provide all relevant documentation or details that support your claim or clarify the nature of the dispute within {{response_days}} days from the date of this letter. This may include purchase orders, delivery notes, correspondence, or any other supporting evidence.

Proposed Resolution and Action Required

Upon receipt of your information, we will promptly review the details and work towards a mutually agreeable resolution. We kindly request that you:

1. Provide a clear and detailed explanation of the dispute.

2. Submit all supporting documentation.

3. Indicate your preferred method of communication for resolution discussions.

Our objective is to minimise any further delays in payment once the dispute is resolved. If no clarification or supporting documentation is received within the stipulated {{response_days}} days, we will assume the invoice(s) are accurate and require immediate payment of the full outstanding balance.

Payment Request

Once the dispute is resolved, or if clarification is provided confirming the validity of the invoice(s), we request immediate payment of the total outstanding amount of {{currency}} {{outstanding_amount}}. Payment can be made via {{payment_methods}} to our account: {{bank_account_details}}.

Future Actions

We value your business and trust this matter can be resolved amicably and swiftly. However, should we fail to receive cooperation in resolving this dispute or the payment within the agreed timeframe after resolution, we may be compelled to take further action to recover the outstanding debt, which may include engaging a debt collection agency or initiating legal proceedings. This may incur additional costs for which you will be liable.
