About this Gig
Is a debtor ignoring your Letter Before Action? For undisputed debts, a Statutory Demand is one of the most powerful and feared tools in UK debt recovery. It is a formal demand for payment that, if ignored, can be used as a basis to bankrupt an individual or wind-up a company.
As a qualified UK Solicitor (SRA ID: 659327), I will correctly draft a UK Statutory Demand, putting maximum pressure on your debtor.
This is not a letter; it is a formal legal instrument. Serving a Statutory Demand often shocks a debtor into immediate action because the consequences of non-compliance are severe. It is a high-stakes move that must be executed perfectly.
This Gig is For You If:
- The debt is over £750 (for a company) or £5,000 (for an individual).
- You are ready to escalate pressure significantly before (or instead of) a standard court claim.
Why Use My Service?
- Solicitor-Grade Accuracy: The forms and rules are strict. I will ensure the demand is drafted accurately to be legally enforceable, avoiding errors that could invalidate it.

FAQ
What makes a debt "undisputed"?
An undisputed debt is one where the debtor has no genuine defence for not paying. For example, they have previously acknowledged the debt, made a part-payment, or simply refuse to pay without giving a valid reason. If they have a reasonable counterclaim or dispute the quality of goods/services, the
What happens after the Statutory Demand is served?
The debtor has 21 days to pay the debt or 18 days to apply to the court to have it set aside. If they do neither, you can then proceed with a bankruptcy or winding-up petition.
Do you serve the document for me?
No, this gig is for drafting only. You will be responsible for "serving" (formally delivering) the document. The Premium package includes written guidance on the strict rules of service you or a process server must follow.
Can I use this for any amount of money?
No. The law specifies minimum amounts. For a debt owed by an individual, it must be at least £5,000. For a company, it must be at least £750.
Is this better than going to the small claims court?
It's different. A court claim aims for a judgment (CCJ), while a Statutory Demand aims to trigger insolvency proceedings. A demand is often faster and more threatening for a company that wishes to continue trading. It's a strategic choice.
