Reminder

I have received a payment reminder, but do not know what I have ordered.

For a copy of the invoice with the details of your order, please contact us using the contact form.

Why am I getting a reminder?

The payment period of the invoice is 30 days. You are therefore obliged to pay it within 30 days.

If you do not meet your payment obligation, you will first receive a free payment reminder with an additional payment period of 10 days.

After the additional period has expired, reminders will be sent for a fee. The amount of the reminder fees can be found in the general terms and conditions of the respective shop.

Have you decided to pay in instalments?
If you have decided to pay for your purchase in instalments, a free payment reminder with an additional payment period of 10 days will be sent once in the event of late payment. If you fall into arrears again with one of the subsequent instalments, reminders with costs will be sent after the payment deadline for this instalment has expired.

I have received a reminder for an invoice I have already paid.

There can be several reasons for receiving an overdue notice for an invoice that you have already paid:

• The payment and the reminder crossed in the post
If you have already paid the invoice in full you can disregard the reminder.

• You provided the wrong reference number
If you made a mistake when entering the payment details please contact us using the contact form.

• You accidentally paid the wrong amount
The reminder shows the difference between the invoice total and the amount received. Please pay the difference so that your account is balanced..

• You used the online shop’s banking information
Please ask the online shop to forward your payment to Avaialabill so that we can close the case. That way you will not receive further reminders.

For other questions, please use our contact form.
