FAQ
What information do you need to start?
I'll need the client's details, the invoice number and amount, a copy of your contract or written agreement, and a brief summary of the work performed and any payment-related communications.
What if we didn't have a formal written contract?
Even without a formal contract, a demand letter is effective. We can reference emails, text messages, or a verbal agreement as the basis for the work and payment terms. A paper trail is always helpful.
How is this different from just sending another email?
A formal letter, especially one sent via certified mail, signals a serious escalation. It shows the client you are organized, professional, and prepared to take further steps to collect the debt, and it can't be as easily ignored as an email.
Will this make the client angry and ruin the relationship?
My letters are drafted to be firm but professional, not aggressive. The goal is to collect payment while maintaining a professional tone. Often, clients respect the directness and it leads to a resolution.
What is the next step if the client still doesn't pay?
The demand letter is your formal "first strike." If they fail to pay, the letter serves as crucial evidence that you made a formal attempt to resolve the matter, which is vital for any subsequent action, such as small claims court or collections.
