      **Re: Account Credit Hold — Invoice(s) #{{INVOICE_NUMBERS}} Past Due**
      
      Dear {{CLIENT_CONTACT_NAME}},
      
      We are writing to inform you that your account with {{YOUR_BUSINESS_NAME}} has been placed on credit hold effective {{HOLD_EFFECTIVE_DATE}}.
      
      **Reason for hold:**
      Invoice(s) #{{INVOICE_NUMBERS}} totaling {{TOTAL_AMOUNT_PAST_DUE}} remain unpaid as of {{CURRENT_DATE}}. The original due date was {{ORIGINAL_DUE_DATE}}, making this balance {{DAYS_PAST_DUE}} days past due.
      
      **What this means:**
      While your account is on hold, we are unable to process new orders, deliver additional services, or extend further credit until the overdue balance is resolved.
      
      **To remove the hold:**
      Payment of {{TOTAL_AMOUNT_PAST_DUE}} (or a mutually agreed payment arrangement in writing) will release the hold promptly. You can make payment via:
      
      {{PAYMENT_METHOD_1}}
      {{PAYMENT_METHOD_2}}
      
      Payment portal: {{PAYMENT_LINK}}
      
      **To discuss a payment arrangement:**
      Please contact {{YOUR_NAME}} at {{YOUR_PHONE}} or {{YOUR_EMAIL}} by {{RESPONSE_DEADLINE}}. We are open to discussing a structured payment plan if immediate full payment is not possible.
      
      We value your business and would like to resume normal service as quickly as possible. Please treat this matter as time-sensitive.
      
      Sincerely,
      
      {{YOUR_NAME}}
      {{YOUR_TITLE}}
      {{YOUR_BUSINESS_NAME}}
      {{YOUR_PHONE}}
      {{YOUR_EMAIL}}
