Recovering small amounts from a client and reporting the company on bad records
One of our clients is not paying our invoices which are amounting only to AED 11,000.
It's already a year past due and they are not communicating back even their business is open and operational.
Is it advisable to seek legal assistance?
Can we report the company on Government so they can have a bad record?
Kindly advise on the best action for all small amounts.
Thank you!

Hi,
The outstanding amount may be recovered by issuing a legal notice to the defaulting party.
This legal notice will be drafted in accordance with the prevailing laws of the UAE and supporting documents such as invoices and email.
For further information, please contact us via email.
Greetings!
There is nothing here as "bad records" with the Government. So there is no point of any complaints.
It's suggested for you to serve a Legal Notice or Notary Notice to the debtor, and if there is no response, you can also file a civil/commercial case in the relevant court.
