What details should I include for a payment demand?
Include the invoice or account reference, amount owed, due date, what the payment covers, and how the recipient can pay. Attach invoices or statements if appropriate.
Should I include late fees or interest?
Only if your contract or applicable rules allow it. If you include fees, describe how they were calculated and reference the agreement if possible.
Can this be used for small claims court?
It can help show you provided notice and attempted to resolve the issue. Keep copies and proof of delivery. Requirements vary by jurisdiction.
What deadline should I set for payment?
A common range is 7–14 days depending on circumstances. Set a clear date or number of days, and specify acceptable payment methods.
