Document background
The Ten Day Demand Letter is a crucial pre-litigation document in Singapore's legal framework, serving as a final warning before pursuing formal legal action. It represents a critical step in the debt recovery process, combining both legal compliance and practical debt collection strategy. This document is typically used when previous informal attempts to collect payment have failed, and the creditor is prepared to escalate to legal proceedings. The letter must include specific details about the debt, clear payment instructions, and explicitly state the ten-day deadline, while adhering to Singapore's Rules of Court 2021 and relevant civil procedure requirements. It serves both as a last opportunity for amicable resolution and as evidence of the creditor's reasonable attempts to recover the debt before initiating court proceedings.
