What this document does
A formal letter of demand often gets an invoice paid without a lawyer or a court. This one is approved by an Australian solicitor, sets a clear deadline, and tells you exactly what to do if they still do not pay. You answer a few questions and download it ready to print and send.

Questions people ask.

No jargon, no upsell.
- Does a letter of demand actually work?
- Frequently, yes. A formal, dated letter that sets a deadline changes the conversation from a chase to a decision. Many are paid within days of arriving.
- Do I need a lawyer to send one?
- No. The letter comes from you and is written to be taken seriously on its own. That is the point of the $19 price against a debt worth far more.
- What if they still do not pay?
- You escalate. For plain business debts in NSW that means a Statement of Claim in the Local Court, Small Claims Division up to $20,000, or the Local Court up to $100,000. The guidance with your letter walks you through it, or we can match you with a lawyer.
- Can I charge interest on the overdue amount?
- Often, yes, if your contract or invoice allows it or a statutory rate applies. The form includes an optional interest calculation you can switch on.
- How much does it cost and how long does it take?
- $19 once, no subscription, and about 15 minutes to complete.
