ChadC Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 here is a copy and paste of an email we got from a client. John (client liaison)Just wanted you to be aware of this. The invoice was dated 7-31-07 and had a due date of 8-30-07. They [futurenet, my company] are contacting us 5 days beyond the due date to say that it’s “overdue”.It turns out that a check for this one was cut this week, but it seems unnecessary for them to be contacting us so soon after the due date.Thanks,Susan (client themselves)WELL DUH!!!!the due date 8-30-07!?! it was 5 days AFTER the due date!!morons!!FYI this is our standard "overdue" emailAttn: Accounts PayableJust a friendly reminder that you have 1 overdue invoice, #XXX, with an overdue balance of $XXXX.00.

P51tj Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Cafeful, next month, might just get it 5 days before!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 You mean I can't mail it on the due date and you get it the same day????Working for a bank you can't believe the way people treat their money and accounts. What do you mean I can't write 5 or 6 checks and then make the deposit three days later??? Why won't the bank float me the money for a day or two? I kinda figure everyone is stupid but you and me and I'm not so sure about you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertdawg Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I think they were just trying to earn the extra interest on the funds before sending them on!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
