Issues to consider with collection letters
Debt collection letters should be well written and follow best practices. Here are several key elements you may need to consider:
- Amount due
- Days past due
- Note on previous attempts to collect
- Summary of customer’s account
- Instructions for how to reply
- The due date for payment
- Any late fees or penalties
- Your contact information
- Applicable laws, including the statute of limitations or time limit to file court action if the issue is not resolved
Demand letters can be an effective way to collect the debt. However, there are issues you may need to consider. You could have more success if you have a lawyer review your letter before you send it. When you join LegalShield, you can submit your business documents for review and receive consultation on how to address the situation. Depending on the type of business legal plan, a designated number of document reviews are included each month/year at no additional charge beyond the membership fee.
Have a lawyer write a demand letter
Receive help with business legal matters more efficiently with professional communications issued on your behalf. Here are a few considerations when a communication is needed to help resolve your business matter.
- Are you unsure about drafting a carefully worded communication or handling the matter by yourself?
- Do you have a particularly prickly situation that requires a more direct approach?
- Is the matter rather large or overwhelming and you want professional help?
All small business plans from LegalShield include lawyer-drafted communications sent on your behalf. Depending on the type of business legal plan, a designated number of communications are provided each month/year at no additional charge beyond the membership fee.

“Dear LegalShield, I am writing you this letter to say thank you for all of your assistance. I am a professional photographer by trade and I have used LegalShield for everything from trademarking advice to collecting outstanding debts from clients. All in all, I can't believe the help and advice that I have received for such a reasonable fee, the service has more than paid for itself and it is priceless to have someone that I can talk too fast with knowledgeable legal advice. Thank you.”
