Before you send a demand letter

Use this tool to prepare an English first draft about an unpaid business invoice. It helps you set out the parties, outstanding amount and requested response date. It does not send the letter, verify the debt or decide whether a claim is enforceable.

Gather the facts

  • Check the creditor and debtor company names against the contract and invoice.
  • Confirm the currency, unpaid balance, original due date and any partial payments.
  • Review the contract, invoice, delivery evidence and previous reminders. The supporting-files field records a count; it does not upload files.
  • Record any dispute and choose a response date for review. The date you enter is not a legal deadline calculated by this tool.

A fictional example

Example Supplier Pte Ltd is owed SGD 5,000 by Example Buyer Pte Ltd. The invoice fell due on 1 September 2026. A reminder was sent on 4 September, and no substantive dispute is known. The supplier enters those facts and a proposed response date of 18 September. These invented names and dates illustrate the fields; they are not a recommended notice period.

Review the output

The result is an editable draft that you can copy or download as a text file. Check every statement, the payment details and the requested action before using it. The fee comparison is an indicative, non-binding market estimate, not a quotation or a prediction of recovery. Your entries and generated result stay in this browser when you use the tool.

When to obtain qualified review

Get advice before sending where the debt is disputed, a limitation period may be close, insolvency is involved, or the contract and parties cross jurisdictions. Notice, service and pre-action requirements depend on the facts and applicable rules. Do not add threats, interest or charges without checking the basis for them.

Use the debt evidence pack builder to organize supporting material, then review the cross-border debt-recovery preparation scope if you need help preparing the next step.
