A demand letter is sent to a customer who has one or more outstanding amounts owed to your company - for example, an invoice claim.

It is a legal requirement that you as a creditor send the customer a demand letter before initiating debt collection.

The demand letter is a debt collection notice and is therefore often referred to as a debt collection notice.

We always recommend that you use a demand letter template to ensure consistency and compliance with all requirements and regulations.

The letter of demand is a legal requirement and therefore necessary if you want to initiate a debt collection process. The letter of demand should be seen as a last warning before initiating debt collection with a debt collection company, lawyer or the company itself.

Everyone who works professionally with debt collection; lawyers and debt collection companies, use a template for demand letters - as this provides a number of practical benefits, such as consistency and a defined framework that is used every time a demand letter is sent to a debtor.

If all the formalities around the demand letter are not correct, you run the risk that the letter is not legally valid and a new demand letter must be sent.

At Collectia, we have developed a demand letter template that complies with all requirements and formalities that you are free to use, whether you are a Collectia customer or not. The template can be used by creditors or external accountants.

There is no requirement for the creditor to send a demand letter themselves - it can also be the creditor's debt collection company or lawyer. The only requirement is that the demand letter is sent before debt collection is initiated.

A demand letter is the legally correct word for a debt collection notice, but the two serve the same purpose; to make the debtor aware of your outstanding balance and that you now want it paid - otherwise debt collection will, and can, be initiated.
