At one time I used a job closeout letter that basically asked for vendor signature that all services for job # x have been billed. It helped expedite anything that generally billed after the job had been closed, or the fiscal year ended.

It helped, but most of my vendors and suppliers gave their shite together now.

Could be they sent to wrong address. Could be they had issues with their bookkeeper. Lots of things.

Me, I’d email. If no response, send a registered letter for documentation in case they ever turn it over to collections or attempt to sue. I’d probably go by one day as well.

Sure it’s work on your part, but down the road it would be worth it. Wht does the contract say? What if the contract you signed states there is interest accrued, what if contract has the wrong mailing address?

Yep, all government contracts do that now.

We had a large-business vendor that didn't bill us for nine months @ about $60K per month.
It really screws up your books....

Unpopular opinion but the business has to take the blame here. The people accusing you of stealing are on waaaay too high of a horse imo, you don't even know what the vendor is charging.

If you were avoiding the vendor intentionally I'd change my mind, but it's their own damn job to collect upon their accounts receivable. That's a part of any business & they know that. They can pick up their phones or send an email/letter/literally anything.

Of course you can call them, and you probably should - it's on your mind to the point that you're making a TD thread. But most people have enough on their plates that they don't go seeking out even more work. It's like the kid who reminds the teacher that homework was due.

Do you like having a $30k accounts payable sitting there knowing collections will come calling at some point?

I would worry about the police visiting you more than anything.

The Karma Police…. They may take a while to get to you, but rest assured they always come.

They also take more from you than you owe.

I would call and at least let them know, but def wouldn’t be digging deep for a 30k invoice a year later.

What’s so unbelievable about the thread? And considering the poster doesn’t have a history of trolling and has talked about being a business owner in the past, it’s even more believable.

Dumbass

He should pay the invoice, and check with the vendor for if nothing else getting the liability off his books.

But people saying just pay it, or send an approximate amount on a check, that’s some of the dumbest shite I’ve ever heard. He probably doesn’t even know exactly how much he owes.
