Late invoices? Stop chasing. Start collecting.

Dunknock sends a reminder sequence that escalates from friendly to firm — automatically — so freelancers, contractors, and solo operators get paid without the awkward phone call.

Free to reserve. No card required. We'll email you when your batch opens.

The work is done. The money isn't.

You delivered, invoiced, and waited. Now the invoice is 30 days old and you're drafting the third "just checking in" email you've written this month.

Chasing feels like begging

You don't want to damage the relationship — so the email sits unsent, the tone stays too soft, and the client learns your invoices can wait.

Meanwhile, it compounds

One tradesperson on Reddit reported being owed $47K in late payments. Late payers rarely stop at one invoice — and manual chasing doesn't scale past a handful of clients.

How it works

Ninety seconds to set up. Then the sequence runs itself — and stops the moment you're paid.

1

Add the invoice

Client email, amount, due date. Paste it in or forward the invoice — no accounting software integration required to start.

2

Pick a tone track

Gentle, Standard, or Firm. Every message is written to get a reply — specific, dated, and harder to ignore than "just checking in."

3

It escalates for you

Reminders go out on schedule, firming up step by step. Approve each one first, or run on autopilot. The sequence stops instantly when payment lands.

The sequence that gets replies

Four steps over 30 days. Polite at first — because usually it's genuine forgetfulness. Unmistakable by the end.

DAY 1

The friendly nudge

"Just flagging that invoice #1042 for $1,850 was due yesterday — here's the link to pay." Assumes the best. Includes the payment link so there's nothing left to do but click.

DAY 7

The specific reminder

Restates the amount, the due date, and the work delivered. Specifics get answered; vague check-ins get buried.

DAY 14

The firm notice

States the late fee or terms from your contract, and asks for a payment date. Professional — but no longer casual.

DAY 30

The final notice

Final notice before you pause work / hand it to collections, with a clear deadline. The step most manual chasers never send — which is exactly why it works.

Priced for one-person businesses

One recovered invoice pays for a year of Dunknock. If it doesn't recover more than it costs, don't keep it.

Questions

Will this damage my client relationships?

The early steps are deliberately warm — most late payments are genuine oversights, and clients often thank you for the reminder. You choose the tone track, you can approve every message before it sends, and the sequence stops the moment they pay.

Do I need QuickBooks or other software?

No. You can add an invoice manually in under a minute. Integrations are on the roadmap, but the MVP works standalone — that's deliberate, so it fits any workflow.

What if they still don't pay?

The Day 30 final notice is the last automated step. After that, Dunknock gives you a clean paper trail of every reminder sent — useful if you pause work, charge the late fee, or hand the debt to a collection service.

Is this a collection agency?

No. Dunknock only contacts your own clients about invoices you issued, using messages you approved. It's your reminder, sent on schedule — not third-party debt collection.

Your next late invoice is already out there.
