Letter of Demand Template for NSW

Enter each party’s legal identity and address, the agreement supporting the debt and the original payment terms. Use invoice and receipt references that you can match to the records.

The example starts with a $2,480.75 invoice, a $480.75 payment and a $125 credit. The remaining principal is $1,875.00. Replace the example names and dates before using the letter.

Invoice items increase principal. Payment and credit items reduce it. Enter each amount as positive and select the type that describes it.

Interest and charges appear separately. Each needs an entered legal or contractual basis and a calculation reference. The tool adds only the amounts you enter and does not decide entitlement.

A disputed item records a disputed portion already included in the amount sought. It does not add another charge or remove the claim. Review that portion and the recipient’s reasons before escalation.

Payments above invoiced principal produce a visible principal overpayment. The amount sought cannot fall below zero. If the final balance is zero, the draft says no payment is sought.
