Recipients can acknowledge a Demand Letter by complying with the demand or responding with a counteroffer. On other occasions, the recipient may ignore a Demand Letter completely.
It is best to give a reasonable time for the recipient to respond. However, if there is no response from the recipient, the next steps you take can be to:
Follow up with another demand
Seek legal advice
Proceed with legal action through small claims or tribunal
Small claims proceedings vary in each province. Check the requirements of your province for filing a claim.
