Free Demand Letter Template
Ask for payment or resolution in writing before you head to small claims court. A demand letter states what is owed, why, and the deadline to respond, and it often prompts payment on its own. Keep a copy and proof of delivery, since courts like to see a good-faith attempt to resolve first.

DEMAND LETTER
Dear ________________, This letter is a formal demand for payment of ________________ owed to ________________. Despite prior communication, this amount remains outstanding as of the date of this letter.
This demand arises from the following: ________________. You are hereby requested to remit payment in full, or to contact me to resolve this matter, no later than ________________.
If I do not receive payment or a satisfactory response by that date, I intend to pursue all available legal remedies, which may include ________________, without further notice to you. This letter is a good-faith effort to resolve the matter before any such action is taken.
This is a general template and not legal advice. Debt collection rules, interest limits, and court procedures vary by state. Review your state's requirements or have an attorney review this letter before you use it.

Questions
Are these documents legally valid?+
These are professionally structured templates using standard clause language. Whether a completed document is legally binding depends on your state's requirements, proper signing (and notarization or witnesses where required), and your specific situation. For anything high-stakes, have an attorney review it. Nothing here is legal advice.
Is it really free?+
Yes. Filling in a document, previewing it, printing it, and saving it as a PDF are free with no signup. A free account saves your documents; Pro adds Word and Excel export and unlimited saved documents.
Do you store what I enter?+
No. The document is generated in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to our servers unless you choose to save it to an account, and saved documents can be deleted anytime.
Can I edit the document after generating it?+
Yes. Every field stays editable, and you can regenerate as many times as you like. Print or save the final version as a PDF when it looks right.
Will this hold up if it needs to be signed or notarized?+
The template includes signature lines. Some documents need witnesses or a notary to be enforceable in your state. Check your state's requirements before signing, and use a notary where one is required.
