How can I get a demand letter sent to an individual that owes my company money today?

The individual was notified in March that a substantial amount was due to be paid to our company in exchange for services we provided to him.

He made attempts to pay down the debt, but after April of this year has made no further contact or attempt to pay anything else.

We have reached out to him both via phone and text, to no avail. The last time we spoke to him, we sent a message explaining that we would officially cancel services and cancel any training completion certificates that we had issued prior if we did not receive payment for previous invoices.

That message was sent on June 11, 2025. The amount owed now sits at $7,145.

If you want to get a demand letter sent today, you have two options:

1. Draft and send it yourself.

Include key details:

  • The amount owed ($7,145)
  • The services provided
  • Dates of invoices and communications
  • Your final demand for payment with a clear deadline (e.g., 10 days)
  • A statement that failure to pay will result in further action (e.g., collections, legal filing).

Email it immediately for speed, and also send a certified physical copy for documentation.

2. Hire a lawyer or online legal service offering same-day delivery.

Many attorneys can prepare and email a professional demand letter the same day.

  • This adds credibility and may prompt faster payment.

If they still don’t respond, you’ll be in a strong position to escalate — either through small claims court (if under the jurisdictional limit) or civil court for full recovery.
