Document background
The Payment Request Letter is a crucial business document used in Danish jurisdiction when seeking to collect outstanding payments from debtors. It serves as a formal demand for payment and often represents an important step in the debt collection process, potentially preceding legal action. This document must comply with Danish legislation, including the Danish Contracts Act (Aftaleloven), Interest Act (Renteloven), and Debt Collection Act (Inkassoloven). The letter typically includes specific details such as the original invoice information, amount owed, payment deadline, and consequences of non-payment. It can be used for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions, and may be issued directly by the creditor or through authorized representatives such as collection agencies. The format and content should align with Danish business practices and legal requirements while maintaining professional communication standards.
