Dunwell

Chase the invoice. Keep the client.

  • UK and EU statutory rates built in, period by period
  • Five emails and letters, dated and ready to send
  • No account. Your invoice details are never stored on our servers

How it works

  1. 1

    Enter the invoice

    Amount, due date, who owes you. Under a minute, and no sign-up.

  2. 2

    See what you can claim

    Interest to the day, split by rate period, plus fixed compensation. The total updates every time you come back.

  3. 3

    Send the next step

    Each message is written, dated and ready to copy into your email. The sequence gets firmer only when it has to.

Edit before you send

Every message opens for editing in place. Change a line, then copy it or open it in your email app.

Keep a record

Mark each step as sent and the date is logged against the invoice, so you always know what the client has already had.

See the whole picture

Your tracker totals what you are owed across every open invoice and how fast it is growing.

Ready for the awkward cases

A payment plan offer, a phone script, a pre-due heads-up and a thank-you note, each written for the invoice in front of you.

What the law already gives you

You do not need a late-fee clause in your contract. In the UK and across the EU, a business that is paid late by another business can claim interest and a fixed sum automatically.

United Kingdom

8% + base rate a year

8% above the Bank of England base rate (see calculator for the current half-year), under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

Plus fixed compensation: £40 on debts under £1,000, £70 up to £9,999.99, £100 from £10,000.

European Union

8 points + ECB rate a year, minimum

At least 8 points above the ECB reference rate (see calculator for the current half-year), under Directive 2011/7/EU as implemented in each member state.

Plus at least €40 compensation for recovery costs on every late invoice.

Questions

Can I charge interest if my contract says nothing about late payment?

For business-to-business invoices in the UK and the EU, yes. The right is statutory and applies where the contract is silent. If your contract sets its own late-payment rate, that rate normally applies instead, so choose "Contract rate".

Does this work for invoices to consumers?

No. Statutory late-payment interest covers commercial debts between businesses, including sole traders and public bodies. For consumer debts use "Contract rate" or "No interest".

Will claiming interest sour the relationship?

The sequence starts friendly and mentions interest only at the third step, with an offer to waive it if the invoice is paid within a week. Most clients pay well before that. You decide which steps to send.

I'm in the US, Canada, or elsewhere. Can I use it?

Yes. Choose "Contract rate" and enter the rate from your contract or terms, per month or per year. Rules on maximum rates vary by state and country, so check yours.

Where does my invoice data go?

It is sent to our server to produce your figures and emails, and it is not saved there. Your tracker lives in your own browser. If you use the optional AI tailoring, the text of that one email is sent to our AI provider to be rewritten.

Is this legal advice?

No. Dunwell gives you accurate arithmetic and well-drafted correspondence based on published rates and legislation. For disputed debts, large sums, or before starting court proceedings, speak to a solicitor or lawyer.

How do I cancel Pro?

Use "Manage billing" in the pricing section. It takes two clicks, and you keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
