What to send when an invoice is 14 days overdue: a firmer reminder template, timing advice and the next step if it stays unpaid.
Two weeks overdue and no payment usually means the invoice is stuck or deprioritised. Be specific: amount, date, and a deadline.
Below is a copy-ready template. Swap the [brackets] for your details, or let PaidNudge write a tailored version and the rest of the follow-up sequence.
Subject: Invoice [INV-123] (14 days overdue) for [amount] Hi [Name], Invoice [INV-123] for [amount] is now 14 days overdue (due [due date]). I haven't yet received payment or a payment date. Please arrange payment by [date + 7 days]. If there's an issue with the invoice, reply by then so we can resolve it. Payment details: [payment link / bank details]. Thanks, [Your name]

Email first so there's a written record, then a short call if there's no reply. Confirm anything agreed on the phone by email.
Move one step up the ladder: friendly → firm with deadline → final notice / letter before action → small claim or collection.
