Demand Letter
The go-to letter when a client has gone quiet on an invoice that's clearly overdue. A demand letter puts your claim in formal, unambiguous writing — stating exactly what's owed, for what work, and by when — and signals that you're prepared to escalate to small claims court if it isn't paid. It's often the single step that turns weeks of silence into a payment.
What it includes
- Formal demand for the exact amount owed, with a firm payment deadline
- A clear record of the work completed and the date it was delivered
- Reservation-of-rights language referencing small claims court
