For recipients

Received a demand? Here's what to do.

A demand letter is a request from another person or business. It does not mean a court has ruled against you.

Check that it's really from us

Use the reference number and verification code printed on the letter.

Verify a demand
1

Read it carefully

See who is contacting you, what they say happened, what they're asking for, and the date they've asked you to respond by. A demand letter is a request from another person or business. It is not a court order, a judgment, or a criminal matter.

2

Verify that it came from us

Every demand sent through DemandLetterTech carries a reference number and a verification code, printed in the letter's footer and shown in the email. Enter both on our verification page. We answer with one word: verified or not verified.

3

Keep the letter and note the date

Save the PDF and the email. If you and the sender talk later, having the original wording and the date you received it is useful to both of you.

4

Decide how you want to respond

You can contact the sender directly, ask for documentation, dispute the claim, negotiate, or talk to a lawyer. Replies go to the sender's own email address — DemandLetterTech does not mediate or take sides.

5

Report anything that looks wrong

If the letter is fraudulent, harassing, impersonates someone, claims a debt you don't owe, or reached you by mistake, report it to us. Reports are reviewed privately, and we can pause an account that misuses the platform.

What DemandLetterTech is

A self-service technology platform that helps someone put a dispute in writing. We are not a law firm, we don't provide legal advice, we don't represent either party, and we are not a debt collector.

What a verification result means

"Verified" confirms the letter is genuine and really was sent through our platform. It says nothing about whether the claim itself is accurate or enforceable.

What we never do

We don't publish public pages about individual demands, we don't share the parties' details with each other beyond what's in the letter, and we don't confirm over email or phone whether a reference number exists.

Warning signs of a scam

Pressure to pay within minutes, demands for gift cards or cryptocurrency, threats of arrest or criminal charges, or a code that won't verify. Real disputes don't need any of that.

DemandLetterTech does not host public pages for individual demands and cannot look up a demand for you here. This page is general information for people in the United States, not legal advice.
