Document background
The Debt Collection Letter of Demand is a crucial document in Singapore's debt recovery process, typically used when informal attempts to collect payment have failed. This document represents a critical step before initiating legal proceedings and must be carefully drafted to comply with Singapore's strict regulations on debt collection practices. It serves multiple purposes: establishing a formal record of the demand, meeting legal requirements for future court proceedings, and providing the debtor with clear information about the debt and consequences of non-payment. The letter must balance firmness with compliance with local harassment laws and debt collection guidelines.
