Download free letter of demand template
If you are a business or an accountant, you may from time to time need to send a letter of demand to customers who do not pay their invoices. A demand letter is also known as a demand for payment or a debt collection notice.
If you need a letter of demand, you can use a letter of demand template to ensure that all requirements are met and you don't have to start from scratch every time.
The letter of demand is necessary if you want to start a debt collection process and can thus be seen as a last reminder before starting debt collection. Most companies, lawyers or debt collection agencies use a letter of demand template. This is to ensure that all requirements are met every time. The template is also used to have a defined framework that can be used every time a letter of demand is sent to your debtor. If all the formalities surrounding the letter of demand are not correct, you run the risk that the letter is not legally valid.
Therefore, we have prepared a letter of demand template that complies with all requirements and formalities, which you can freely download - whether you are a creditor, debt collection company or external accountant.
There is no requirement for you to send the letter of demand yourself. Your lawyer or debt collection agency may also send it - prior to collection.
The letter of demand is the legally correct word for a debt collection notice, but the two cover one and the same purpose: to make the debtor aware of your outstanding debt and that you now want it paid - otherwise debt collection will, and can, be initiated.
There is no official template for a letter of formal notice, but there are some important formalities and rules to remember. If you fail to comply with the formalities, your letter of demand is not legally valid. Our template complies with all the formalities and requirements for a letter of demand. This ensures that your letter is filled in correctly.
Some ERP systems have built-in demand letter templates that you can make use of. However, these can often be difficult to design yourself in the way you want.
