The Atradius Collections Final Demand Letter is a simple and efficient methodology to follow up on unpaid invoices

What is a Final Demand Letter?

A Final Demand Letter is the last formal reminder sent to a debtor before you escalate to legal action or full debt collections. It clearly states:

- The amount owed
- The original due date
- A firm deadline for payment (usually within 14 days)
- What will happen next if payment is not received

When it comes from a globally recognised collections leader like Atradius Collections, it signals that you are prepared to take the next step if necessary. This urgency often prompts debtors to settle the matter quickly to avoid further consequences.

When reminders fail, a Final Demand letter gets noticed

If earlier reminders have been ignored, an official demand from Atradius Collections changes the game. Debtors recognise the name. They respect the authority. And they respond.

You benefit from:

- Higher payment rates than standard company reminders.

- The global credibility of Atradius Collections.

- A professional, amicable tone that preserves relationships.
