Bad Debt Collection Letter

"I need a Bad Debt Collection Letter for an overdue payment of $25,000 from a Singapore-based retail client who has missed three consecutive monthly payments and hasn't responded to informal reminders since January 2025."

Document background
The Bad Debt Collection Letter is a crucial document in Singapore's debt recovery process, typically issued when regular payment reminders have failed to secure payment. It serves as a formal demand for payment and often precedes legal action. The letter must comply with Singapore's strict regulations regarding debt collection practices, including the Protection from Harassment Act and Banking Act guidelines. This document should clearly state the debt amount, payment terms, and deadline while maintaining a professional tone that avoids any threatening language or harassment.
