When repeated payment reminders haven't resolved an overdue invoice, a formal demand letter documents what is owed and makes the next steps clear. Download the StagePaid-branded template and tailor it to the agreement, jurisdiction and circumstances.
An effective demand letter identifies the creditor and recipient, explains the contractual basis of the debt, lists the outstanding invoices, sets a clear payment deadline and tells the recipient how to respond or dispute the invoice.
Keep the language factual. The amount claimed, interest, recovery costs and escalation options must follow the agreement and applicable law.
Check that the invoice is correct, that payments and credits have been allocated, and that any dispute has been investigated. Consider delivery methods that provide an auditable record.
