Any business has a legal aspect in it. It is also necessary so that the business runs smoothly without illegal activities. Legal points govern most of the contracts or agreements. In olden times, there was not much awareness in people, but nowadays everyone knows that there are legal aspects to be covered by all the businesses and people engage lawyers even if they deal with known persons. A well-constructed demand letter can be a very powerful document.
Legal Action letters can be formal letters that are written by a lawyer on behalf of the client demanding payment or some other action from another party and written by one individual to another demanding payment. In general, a demand letter must include why the payment or action is demanded, what are the consequences for non-payment. Give him/her some time to pay the debt or agree to a payment schedule. Make it very clear that he/she must respond to the letter within a set period.

- All valid points should be covered in the letter.
- The purpose of the letter must be mentioned on the top of the letter.

Subject: piling of the loan amount
Dear Mr. Prasad,
This letter is sent to inform you that your loan amount has been piling up as you have stopped making payments for the past one year. We have sent you several reminder letters to inform you. You never responded to our letters or emails. The amount is huge, and hence we regret to inform you that as there is no communication from your side, we do not have any other option except to take legal action.
We genuinely never want to take such an extreme step for our customers and would always help the customers to repay their dues. You have an option of paying back the amount within ten days. If you can contact us at the earliest, we can take necessary action. In case you fail to pay the amount or do not receive any communication, you will have to face the consequences. This is the last letter being written to you, and from now onwards, our lawyer will deal with the issue.
Yours Sincerely,
Bhargav Sundereshwar,
Branch Manager,
ICICI Bank.
