Prevent Invoice Disputes

 Here are some steps to add to your billing system and customer communications that can help prevent invoice disputes:

  • Run a credit check on the customer – You might find this stalling is a symptom of a much bigger credit issue that must be addressed.
  • Review unpaid invoices several times a year – Note which customers have notified you about invoice disputes and how many have filed disputes properly.
  • Be clear and upfront about policies – This way, old and new customers won’t be able to bend the rules.

Set The Expectations for an Invoice Dispute

You can set the tone for the call by setting up proper expectations. Don’t give in to their delay tactics. Offer to investigate their dispute but make it clear that you don’t tolerate disputes made after the payment due date. To research the dispute, tell them that their payment must be processed first. Then, if their dispute is valid, their payment can be credited back to them. Remind them that in the future, if they have a dispute, they must notify you before the payment due date. This scenario assures that your payment won’t be delayed and that customers can’t use delay tactics, by putting the responsibility of communicating a problem on the customer.
