Bad Debt

ST11 If you are unable to pay your invoice for any reason, it is important that you contact our finance/admin team PRIOR to your invoice being due for payment.

ST11.1 Dependant on your previous payment history, track record with MWM, we will ordinarily work with your company and offer a new payment plan to clear old/existing debt and keep on top of new invoices. Any such arrangements are only available via DD/SO. If a single payment is missed, or defaults for any reason, that will immediately end that arrangement and we may refer your debt to a professional debt collecting company/agency.

ST11.2 Interest on Bad Debt. After one month (28-31 days) of any balance in bad debt, we will automatically add 7.61% per month or 1.75% per week, and 0.25% interest per day of a part week, of your total outstanding bad debt, which will be back-dated and accrue from the first day of bad debt. For the avoidance of doubt day 1 not day 31.

ST11.2 Bad Debt Example

30 Day (one month example) £1,000 + 30 days (one month) late payment = £1000.00 X 7.61% = £76.10 = New Balance £1076.10.

60 Days (two months example) £1000.00 + month one interest £76.10 = £1,076.10 X 7.61% (additional month interest) = £80.70 = New Balance £1,156.81.

65 Days (two months + 7 days (1 week) example) £1000.00 + month one interest £76.10 = £1,076.10 X 7.61% (additional month interest) = £80.70 = New Balance £1,156.81 X 1.75% = £20.24 (additional week interest) = New Balance £1,177.05

ST11.3 Bad Debt Referral

Dependant on circumstance, communication, cooperation and payment history, we may refer your debt to a professional collection agency at any overdue payment date/day, ordinarily not before 30 days and never before you have been notified via email, phone call or letter. In any debt referral instance, your overdue balance will immediately incur referral fees, that MWM are charged by the debt collection agency, ordinarily between 15-25% of the total debt to be recovered.

Example

£1000,00 at 30 days (as per above example ST11.2) = £1,076.10 X 20% Referral Fee = £215.22 = New Balance £1,291.32 (plus new additional interest as the debt gets older)

Debt Collection Agency Fees (third party)

ST11.4 Debt collection fees added by the collection agency/company are NOT included in our illustrations. They will add their fees, which can be substantial, MWM have no influence or control of agency debt collection fees payment once the debt has been referred.

Payment Once Debt Has Been Referred

ST11.5 Once your debt has been referred, all interest and MWM and third party referral fees, will apply and cannot be reversed

ST11.6 The debt referral agency may refer your debt to County Court to obtain a payment instruction, which may result in a CCJ or Winding Up Order.

ST11.7 Websites can not be hosted, secured, protected, updated, maintained or marketed for free. Any debt that relates to to any of our services provided to your business, where we have built the website, may determine immediate de-hosting of your website and or, a default payment notice covering the website pages. To get to this stage will determine that your company has broken many payment assurances. In this, or any other suspension of service or site-wide website payment default notice, MWM can not be held responsible for any losses and or business damage incurred over this or future periods.
