What a money recovery notice should contain
- The name and description of the person to whom the money is owed (the creditor)
- The name and address of the person who owes the money (the debtor)
- The date and nature of the loan, credit or transaction that gave rise to the dues
- The exact amount now due and payable
- A clear demand to pay within a stated period, commonly fifteen days
- A statement that legal action may follow if payment is not made, and an address for the reply
After you send the notice
Send the signed notice by registered post with acknowledgement due, and keep the postal receipt and the acknowledgement once it returns. If the debtor pays within the time given, retain proof of the payment and confirm that the matter is closed. If there is no response or payment, you may, on advice, proceed with a recovery suit or other appropriate action. For a disputed or high value claim, have the notice and any further steps reviewed by a qualified professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
A legal notice for money recovery is a formal written demand sent to a person who owes money, calling upon them to repay the outstanding amount within a stated time. It records the facts, states the sum due and warns that legal action may follow if payment is not made. This generator prepares a clean notice that you or your advocate can fill in, sign and send.
A recovery notice commonly gives the recipient fifteen days from receipt to pay the outstanding amount, though the exact period can be adjusted to suit the matter. The template uses a fifteen day period, after which the notice states that the sender may initiate appropriate legal action.
It is common practice to send a legal notice by registered post with acknowledgement due (RPAD) so there is proof of dispatch and delivery, and often a copy by email as well. The template carries a "By RPAD / By E-Mail" line at the top. Keep the postal receipt and acknowledgement for your records.
You can send a demand notice yourself, but a notice drafted and signed by an advocate often carries more weight and helps if the matter later goes to court. The signature line reads "(Sender / Advocate)" so it suits either case. For a disputed or high value claim, having an advocate review the notice is advisable.
No. The notice is assembled entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to our servers. Only your most recent entry is stored locally on your device.
