DEMAND FOR PAYMENT FAQ
What is a Demand for Payment?
A Demand for Payment is a written notice sent to a debtor or customer requesting payment for overdue amounts. It serves as an official reminder and warning before legal or collection actions are taken.
Why is a Demand for Payment important?
It creates a documented record of the attempt to collect debt, which is often legally required before proceeding with actions such as filing a lawsuit or engaging a collection agency. It also encourages voluntary repayment by outlining consequences clearly.
When should you send a Demand for Payment?
Send a demand when payment is past due beyond the agreed-upon grace period or when previous reminders have been ignored. Prompt action helps prevent further financial loss.
What should a Demand for Payment include?
The notice should specify the amount owed, due dates, related invoice or contract details, and a clear deadline for payment, along with potential consequences for non-payment.
What happens if the debtor ignores the demand?
If payment is not made by the specified deadline, the creditor may pursue additional steps, such as initiating legal proceedings, engaging a debt collector, or reporting the default to credit agencies.
