Will this really work?

Demand letters work because they signal serious intent. Companies and individuals respond to formal legal demands because they know ignoring one can lead to a lawsuit. The letter cites specific laws, deadlines, and penalties.

What if they ignore it?

If the recipient doesn't respond, you can file a complaint with the relevant regulatory agency, file in small claims court, or consult with an attorney. With certified mail, you'll have court-admissible proof of delivery — USPS retains the record for 10 years.

How quickly will I receive my letter?

Your letter is generated instantly. PDF downloads are immediate. Certified mail is submitted to our print network immediately. USPS Certified Mail typically delivers within 7-10 business days.

What's the difference between digital and certified mail?

The $9 digital option gives you a PDF to print and mail yourself. The $29 certified mail option includes USPS Certified Mail with Return Receipt — the same delivery method attorneys use. You get a tracking number, court-admissible proof of delivery, and USPS retains the record for 10 years.

Is my information secure?

Yes. We use industry-standard encryption. Your payment is processed through Stripe. We do not store your credit card information. Personal data is retained for 90 days after delivery and then deleted.

For digital downloads ($9), we offer a refund if you haven't downloaded the PDF. For certified mail ($29), we cannot offer refunds once the letter has been sent to USPS, as the mailing is irreversible.

For most straightforward disputes under $10,000, a demand letter is an effective first step that doesn't require a lawyer. Our AI generates professional correspondence that cites relevant laws. For complex legal matters, we recommend consulting with a licensed attorney.
