Document background
The Commission Demand Letter is a crucial document used when seeking to recover unpaid commission amounts in England and Wales. It serves as a formal step before initiating legal proceedings and should be issued promptly when commission payments are overdue. The letter must clearly state the legal basis for the claim, typically referencing the commission agreement, specify the exact amount owed with calculations, and provide a reasonable deadline for payment. This document is particularly important as it can demonstrate reasonable attempts to resolve the matter before court action and may be referenced in subsequent legal proceedings.
