Learn more about Debt Collection Saskatchewan

If a customer or client hasn’t paid an invoice, act quickly and keep everything documented. This guide covers the basic steps Saskatchewan businesses can take and when it may be time to escalate. (General information only — not legal advice.)

Step 1: Gather your documents

Collect your invoice(s), due dates, any contract/estimate/work order, proof the work was completed or delivered, and any emails/texts about payment. Good

documentation makes the process faster and cleaner.

Step 2: Send a clear final notice

Send a written final notice that states the amount owed, what it’s for, and a firm deadline to pay. Include how they can pay and how to contact you. Keep it professional and save a copy.

Step 3: Follow up and document everything

Follow up consistently and keep a record of every call, email, and message. If the debtor offers a payment plan, get it in writing with dates and amounts.

Step 4: Know when to escalate

If the debtor ignores you, keeps delaying, or breaks a payment plan, it may be time to escalate. Waiting too long can reduce your chances of recovery.

Step 5: Consider professional help (especially if court is required)

Some files require stronger action to move forward. If you need court-focused recovery support, getting help early can save time and avoid mistakes.
