What is a Debt Collection Demand Letter?

A debt collection demand letter is a formal written notice sent to a debtor demanding payment of an outstanding obligation such as an unpaid loan, invoice, or personal debt. This letter establishes a formal collection attempt and is typically required before filing a lawsuit to recover the money owed.

Key Points:

  • Documents the original debt amount and current balance
  • Sets a specific payment deadline (usually 10-30 days)
  • Preserves your right to sue in small claims or civil court
  • May include accrued interest and allowable collection costs
