What is a demand letter?

A demand letter is a formal business communication that states that due to late payment(s), the borrower is officially in breach of the terms of their loan, and that a failure to cure that breach will result in PeerStreet initiating the foreclosure process. The demand letter must be issued prior to filing a Notice of Default (or Complaint). The demand letter is typically issued between Late 30 and Late 60 time frames by PeerStreet’s Asset Management team. At this point, we have already made numerous attempts to contact the borrower and to collect payment.
