FAQ

What is a Ten Day Free Demand letter?
United Fidelity offers a broad spectrum of letter services for your needs. However this particular letter, which is a complimentary service provided for your company, is a formal demand on our company stationary. When the debtor sends their remittance prior to the ten-day elapse period there is no fee earned by our office. For a more rapid approach to the debtor that has been a good customer in the past and just needs a nudge we offer a three-day facsimile demand along the same guidelines set forth above. If the customer does not pay within the allotted time frame we will then pursue the collection.
