Letter before Action
A 'letter before action' should usually be fairly short and to the point. The letter should state:
- Your name and address,
- the debtors name and address,
- the amount outstanding
- and why. Also state
- that this is the final letter,
- a time limit by which payment must be received and
- that court proceedings will be started after that time.
Your name and address will probably be on your stationery. If, for whatever reason, the payment name or the payment address is different state this clearly in the letter.
