Check first or Invoice First, this is a question!

Company ABC owes me $3000 and it has been overdue for 3 months. They insist I send them an email invoice first, so that they can send me the check. I think this may be a setup trick: once they get my invoice, they won't owe me a penny, because they will claim I have been paid. Can someone help me understand?

Hi XXX,
I need that simple email invoice from you, I was told by accounting this afternoon that the cheque has been cut, but won't send it out until they receive that for the accounting files. Just your name, address, and for engineering services rendered in the amount of $3000.00.

XXX

Is this a trick? Thanks

    • 在invoice加上一句:your account is xxx days overdue, please remit the payment ASAP.

      • Great idea...thanks so much.
    • invoice是帐单; receipt是付款收据.
    • and you should put down 5% interest if payment is not received within 30 days.
