Demand letter

I am looking for sample demand letter to send to a loan officer for 2 unpaid signings. :/ I did 3 for him for the same buyers but he only wants to pay me for one! Phone calls went unanswered so I need to send a letter. Anyone have one? You can email me one at [e-mail address]. Thanks!

Provided that this is the party with whom you have contracted the letter should contain a brief statement of the facts that support your claim, a statement of the dollar amount owed to you and a demand for payment within a reasonable time period. You should send the letter by certified mail return receipt requested.

I would send it certified mail, return receipt requested and regular mail (they can't refuse the one sent regular mail) - Brenda had a great idea of sending the regular mail one with delivery confirmation - that way you have proof it's been delivered...

Delivery confirmation only means it was left in a mailbox

no signature is required and there is no way to prove it went in the correct mailbox.

I wrote a demand letter that went something likes this:

To Whom It May Concern:

I was contracted by your SS to complete a loan signing for $XXX. On (date) I completed a loan signing for (borrower). A copy of the email confirmation is enclosed. Your payment schedule stated net XX days. To date, I have not received payment and your account is past due. If I do not receive $XXX within XX days from the date of this letter, a late fee of $XX will be added to the outstanding balance. If your check bounces, I will also add a returned check fee of $XX to the unpaid balance. Collection processes will be pursued. This includes but is not limited to turning this matter over to my attorney. Remit payment of $XXX to: (my name and address)

Sincerely,

Me

I received a check 7 days later and it did clear the bank.

Kelly - I emailed you my very-effective collection letter.
Edit it with your details, sign your name...then fax it to them.
