When to send a demand letter

Send when you have already asked, the other side has not paid or acted, and you need a last written request with a deadline before you escalate.

What to include

What is owed or required

Money, a repair, or a specific action.

The background in brief

Enough history to identify the dispute, not a novel.

A deadline

A date they can actually meet.

The next step

Only a step you would actually take.

Mistakes that weaken the letter

Pretending to be a lawyer

This is informational help, not a court filing.

No deadline

A demand without a date is just another ask.
