Document background
The 3 Day Demand Letter is a crucial debt recovery tool in England and Wales, typically used when previous attempts to secure payment have failed. It represents a final formal demand before court proceedings and must be drafted in compliance with Civil Procedure Rules and pre-action protocols. The letter should clearly state the debt amount, include relevant interest calculations, and specify the three-day payment deadline. This document is particularly important as it demonstrates to courts that the creditor has taken reasonable steps to resolve the matter before litigation, while also providing the debtor with a final opportunity to settle the debt.
