Quick reminder: invoice TR-2026-019
Sending, reply handling and follow-ups need an account — the preview doesn't.
Translation work has a familiar ending: the delivery is accepted, the project manager says thanks, and then the invoice sits. Agencies pay on their own accounting cycles, direct clients move on to the next thing, and late payment is common across freelance invoicing generally — going quiet is rarely personal, but it still costs you the money you already earned.
What gets a translation invoice paid is precision. Agencies process payments by reference, so the reminder has to carry the exact job or invoice number, the exact amount and the due date — that way it can be matched to a purchase order instead of earning a “which project was this?” reply. The preview above keeps those three facts verbatim in every tone.
FetchDue is not a collections agency. It writes and schedules the follow-ups you would have sent yourself — under your name, in your tone, with every outbound reply waiting for your approval. If the client pays an invoice that was 7+ days late, FetchDue takes 10% of what was recovered; once it's working for you regularly, there's a $29/month flat plan instead.
