How do you politely charge someone

Ask for the payment simply and be straightforward. Tell them you have included the invoice as part of the email and how you want to be paid. The conclusion is polite and lets them know that you’d love to work more with them in the future. This script also uses the exclamation point very strategically.

However, this question is instructive as far as whether you, the asker, should opt in to pay the other person, even if he says he’s 100% happy to help you out.

Be courteous and always use polite language when reminding someone about the debt they owe you. (even though it’s hard to get them to pay). Just ask if they remember their debt and when they can pay it back. A good example sounds like this, “Hey, do you remember that I lent you money last month?

Remind them kindly.

You can say something like, “I was happy to give you that money last month to help out, but I was hoping you could pay me back before my rent is due.” This reminds them that the money was given and acknowledges that the money was a loan, in case they had misinterpreted the loan as a gift.
