Frequently asked questions
Is a demand letter the same as a legal notice?
No. A legal notice is usually sent by an advocate; a demand letter from you is the step before it.
Should I mention interest?
Only if your contract or invoice terms allow interest on late payment.
Can I edit the wording?
Yes. Download the Word file and change anything you like — the layout stays intact. Or print on your own letterhead by choosing "Leave space" under Date, place & style.
