What Is A Demand Letter And The Ways To Use It?

If you are confused about what a demand letter is, we are here to help. We often face situations where our clients know little to nothing about a demand letter. Oftentimes they hire an attorney to send a demand letter before submitting it to collections. Attorneys may write a single demand letter within a short time interval. However, sending a demand letter is not the end of things. Clients need to know the implications of a demand letter and use it to their advantage.

But first, let us take a look at the contents in a demand letter-

What does a demand letter contain?

It mostly includes,

• A brief overview of the relationship existing between the client and the person who owes the debt.
• The elaborate detail of the kind of debt
• Legal justifications on reasons why the demand was drafted
• A brief discussion on the previous attempts made to receive payments.
• A strict demand for payment and the time allocated to clear them.
• Client’s course of action, if payment is not made.

Many companies do not hire an attorney and send a demand letter through their company letterhead. This letter will contain the final deadline and also the maximum time within which a debtor has to pay his dues. As a commercial collection firm, we recommend this. It saves money and also client faith. Being in this collection business, for a long time, we understand the necessity of each client to save their reputation while dealing with unpaid dues. This is one such way to get the task done without any negative impact.
