A letter of demand usually contains a demand for payment (for example for a loan or for the purchase of goods and services) by a specific date and time.

You may feel these demands are wholly or partially false. It is critically important not to emotionally react to a letter of demand as your response could potentially be used against you in Court. A strongly worded response from third party professionals sends a clear and confident response that you are ready to take all steps necessary to defend the claims against you.

This would be useful in getting a would-be plaintiff to back off and be reasonable. For legal advice and drafting of an effective response please consider getting in touch with us to discuss your situation.
