The Legal Risk Score of a Letter of Demand (2nd Attempt) Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document does not specify the exact date when the previous letter was sent, which could lead to ambiguity about the timeline and potentially weaken the demand's enforceability.
- The document fails to provide details about the nature of the debt, which might cause confusion or disputes over what the outstanding money is for, making it harder to legally enforce the payment.
- There is no mention of any potential interest on the overdue amount, which could lead to financial losses if the debt remains unpaid for an extended period.
