Demand Letter by Plaintiff to Defendant for Unpaid Debt

If a person (borrower) is not repaying the debt owed to another person (lender), then the lender can initiate legal action against the borrower.

In order for an individual or an organization to begin an action for a consumer transaction, the lender/claimant has to send a demand letter to the borrower/defendant demanding payment of the outstanding debt.

At least ten days after mailing the demand letter, the claimant can go to the commercial claims office and fill out a statement of claim with genuine reasons.
