I will draft a powerful UK demand letter for payment
Licensed UK Solicitor Civil Commercial Dispute Resolution SRA: 357512
About this Gig
Tired of chasing unpaid invoices? Is your cash flow being impacted by customers who won't pay? It's time to escalate your approach professionally.
I'm Elaine Addy, a licensed UK Solicitor (SRA: 357512), and I specialize in drafting powerful demand letters that get results. A letter sent under the authority of a solicitor is far more effective than an email or a call from a credit controller. It signals a clear, final warning and shows the debtor you are prepared to take legal action.
My service helps you to:
- Recover Your Money Faster: Create urgency and compel payment.
- Show You Are Serious: A solicitor's involvement is a significant escalation.
- Preserve Your Legal Position: My letters are compliant with the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims, a vital step before any court action.
- Add Statutory Interest & Costs: Where applicable, I will include claims for statutory interest and compensation under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act.
Whether it's a single overdue invoice or a portfolio of debtors, I can provide the professional leverage you need. Stop chasing and start recovering.

FAQ
What's the difference between a Demand Letter and a Letter Before Claim?
A Demand Letter is a type of Letter Before Claim specifically for recovering a sum of money. My Standard and Premium packages ensure full compliance with the specific Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims.
How successful are these letters?
While payment can never be guaranteed (e.g., if the debtor is insolvent), a letter from a solicitor significantly increases the likelihood of payment. It is the most cost-effective formal step in the debt recovery process.
Can you include late payment interest and compensation?
Yes. For business-to-business debts, I will calculate and include the statutory interest, compensation, and reasonable debt recovery costs you are entitled to claim, strengthening your position.
What if the debtor disputes the invoice?
My letter will invite them to provide a detailed response within a specific timeframe, as required by the protocol. This forces them to state their case formally, which is crucial information if the matter proceeds to court.
My debtor is ignoring me. Will this work?
Ignoring a business owner is easy. Ignoring a formal demand letter from a solicitor, which outlines the legal consequences of non-payment, is much harder and riskier for the debtor. It is designed to break the silence.
