OMs did your suppliers email or send you letters for payment?

We use an automated system to send out a reminder 1 week before the balance is due, but we also call about the same time to go through final details as things can change from the initial booking stage to the final day.

Most people i know do tend to send an email when the balance is due.

I emailed all my suppilers with 2 months (or was it 3 months?) to go just to make sure everything was on course. I then waited for them to contact with details of my final payments, which they all did

I normally email or Facebook PM when final payment is due. x

Bit of a mixture really. I was early with quite a few payments so the suppliers didn't have a chance to get in contact with me! With others, I had a paper or email invoice. There was only one payment I was late with and that was because the supplier hadn't got in touch with me (it was the final payment as we were paying in installments so the bulk had already been paid) - instead I contacted them to ask when the payment was due and they realised that they hadn't reminded me. Just keep an eye on things and make sure you know roughly when payments are due. A colour-coded spreadsheet helps!

Thanks all, think i will send an email round like Nursey to make sure all is on track then wait for them to chase me nearer the time x
