Proving you claimed, and when

We draft and send the certified letter with proof of receipt and certified content, which is what counts as evidence afterwards.

Certified letters and formal demands

What is included

  • Drafting the demand with content that works as evidence
  • Sending with proof of receipt and certified text
  • Delivery of the receipt and safekeeping of the copy

What is included and what is not promised

A certified demand is not a letter on headed paper: it counts because it certifies what you said and when, and because it interrupts the limitation period. What a judge decides years later depends on how it is written today.

What it includes: drafting the demand with content that works as evidence; sending with proof of receipt and certified text; delivery of the receipt and safekeeping of the copy. What it does not include: it does not include the follow-up claim if there is no answer, which is quoted as its own service.

Documents you will need

  • Full details of the recipient and the address where they live or are registered.
  • Documents supporting what you claim.
  • The deadline you want to allow for compliance.

How it works

Estimated duration: 3 days.

  1. We read the documents

    You tell us what you want to demand and from whom, and we tell you whether a certified letter is the right means or another form of notice is needed.

  2. Written demand

    We ask for the recipient's full details and the documents that support your demand. Price agreed, delivery cost included.

  3. Negotiation

    We draft the demand with the content that will later serve as evidence and send it with acknowledgement of receipt and certified text.

  4. Agreement or next route

    We hand you the proof of delivery or refusal and keep the certified copy in case it ends up in court.

What to have at hand

  • Full details of the recipient and the address where they live or are registered
  • Documents supporting what you claim
  • The deadline you want to allow for compliance

Frequently asked questions

Is an email or a message enough?

It can help, but it is far more arguable. A certified letter proves content and date, and that is what carries weight.

What if they do not collect it?

The attempted delivery is also recorded and in many cases has effect. We explain the scope.

Does it interrupt the limitation period?

Yes, a formal demand interrupts it. That is one of the main reasons to send one.
