The letter

This letter is for a creditor collecting its own debt. Third-party debt collectors, collection agencies, debt buyers and anyone collecting money owed to someone else are subject to additional rules and should not use this letter.

What the money is for

State the facts plainly: what was provided, lent or damaged, when, and what was agreed. Keep it accurate and professional; leave out opinions, insults and anything you cannot support.
For example, "INV-2044" or "Check No. 1187".

Amount owed

The invoice amount, the unpaid loan balance, the price of the goods or services, the check amount, or the cost of the damage, before any fees or interest.
Only include late fees that your written or other agreement with the debtor provides for.
Only include interest that your agreement with the debtor provides for. This letter does not claim interest under any law.
For example, a returned-check fee. Only include charges that your agreement with the debtor provides for.

Earlier requests and payments

The total of any payments the debtor has already made toward this debt. It is subtracted in the letter.
The original amount, plus any fees, interest and charges you listed, less any partial payments received.

Deadline and payment

Counted from the date of the letter. The letter shows the deadline date this produces. Allow enough time for the letter to arrive.
Where to mail a check, a payment link, or how to arrange a bank transfer. Do not include full bank account numbers; offer to provide them on request.

If the debt is not paid

Only choose "Yes" if you already report account information to credit bureaus in the ordinary course of your business and you intend to report this debt if it is not paid. Most individuals and many small businesses do not report to credit bureaus.
Certified mail gives you proof of mailing. Keep a copy of the letter and any receipt.
