Collection Form Letter for an Automobile

The Letric Law Library's Legal Bar

Exercise Extreme Caution when using many of our free forms - or any legal material. While they may provide general ideas on format & content, validity requirements can and do vary greatly from state to state. Many MUST be Properly Modified for your own location and circumstances. (Hint: If in doubt it's usually safer to include unneeded clauses than to leave out necessary ones. . . . but it's even safer to consult a competent source or use current, state specific ones like ours mentioned below.) Also, we urge people (and lawyers too) to read our Relying On Legal Info FAQ 




COLLECTION LETTER (AUTOMOBILE) 

Date:

To: [name and address of debtor]

Re: Your [describe automobile]

Dear [name of debtor]:

Your delinquent account for the purchase of the above referenced
automobile with our company has been referred to my office for
collection action. Currently, you are several payments behind on
the above referenced account.

I have been instructed to bring legal action against you, as may
be necessary, which may result in levies against your property
or other assets after judgment. In addition, the automobile may
be repossessed.

The file indicates that you have failed or refused to pay the
above claim even though it appears just, owing, and correct.

You are hereby further advised that if payment is not received
within 15 days of the date of this letter, suit in small claims
court may be commenced against you forthwith and without further
notice for the amount indicated above, together with prejudgment
interest. Instead of small claims court, this matter may be
referred to our attorney for suit in municipal court. 

As I am sure you are aware, if this matter goes to suit, all
court costs, process server's fees, sheriff's fees, attorney
fees where permitted, and other postjudgment costs will be added
to the amount that you already owe.

You can avoid the unnecessary inconvenience and added expenses
of a lawsuit by making immediate payment to us within 15 days.

Sincerely,
