The Demand Letter For Payment Of Debt is a crucial document in Dutch debt collection practice, serving as a formal prerequisite before initiating legal proceedings. It is used when informal attempts to collect payment have been unsuccessful and the creditor needs to establish a clear legal position. The document must comply with specific requirements under the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), particularly regarding the formal notice of default (ingebrekestelling). It typically includes details of the debt, payment history, calculation of interest, and collection costs as permitted under Dutch law. This document is essential for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer relationships, and its proper execution is crucial for maintaining legal rights and potentially initiating court proceedings if necessary.
