What is a Payment Demand Letter?

A demand payment letter is a document that demands the recipient to pay the money they owe. They are legal documents, but not all of them will be subject to court action. It can be sent by either an individual or a company in order to collect on debts such as bills, loans, taxes owed or other financial obligations. Demand letters are often used when there is no other way for the debtor to repay their debt and it’s necessary for the creditor to take more formal steps toward collection.
