Demand Letter Template for Personal Loan Repayment
A demand letter for personal loan repayment formally requests that someone repay money you lent them. This applies whether the loan was made with a written promissory note or as a verbal agreement. A demand letter creates a paper trail and gives the borrower a formal deadline before you pursue legal action. This template is a general starting point — you are responsible for verifying the details and ensuring accuracy before sending.

When to Use This Template
- You lent money to someone who agreed to repay it, and they have not
- The agreed repayment date has passed without payment
- Informal requests for repayment have been ignored or met with excuses
- The amount owed is within the Texas small claims court limit of $20,000
After You Send the Letter
- 1Send the letter via certified mail with return receipt requested and keep a copy for your records.
- 2Gather all documentation of the loan: bank transfer records, Venmo/PayPal/Zelle transaction history, text messages or emails confirming the loan agreement, and any written promissory note.
- 3If the borrower does not repay by the deadline, you may file a claim in Texas Justice Court for amounts up to $20,000.
- 4For loans with no written agreement, your best evidence is bank records showing the transfer and any communications (texts, emails) confirming it was a loan, not a gift.
