Re: Demand for [What is owed]
Dear [Their name],
On [Date agreed], we agreed that [What was agreed], due on [Due date]. So far, [What was paid]. The rest remains outstanding despite my earlier requests.
I demand [What is owed] by [Deadline], using [Payment details].
This letter is a demand under Articles 1155 and 1169 of the Civil Code. I reserve my right to any interest and charges allowed by law or by our agreement.
If you have already settled this, please send me the proof and I will check. If it is not done by that date, I intend to pursue the remedies open to me, including barangay conciliation or a small claims case where they apply.
Sincerely,
[Your name]

Send it so that you can prove the date of receipt. Small claims cover up to ₱1,000,000, without interest and costs (A.M. 08-8-7-SC, 2022). If you and the other person are individuals in the same city or municipality, barangay conciliation may come first (R.A. 7160, Sec. 408, 410, 412). Checked 01.11.2026. Not legal advice.
