Are you owed money that someone keeps promising to pay but never does? Have the phone calls and texts led nowhere? Before you file at court, a firm Small Claims Court Letter often settles the matter, because it shows you are serious and gives the other side one last clear chance to pay.
Short answer: Small Claims Court Letter is free on EizTools and drafts a formal letter before action. Describe the debt or dispute, set a deadline to pay, and generate a letter that warns the other side court is next.
What is Small Claims Court Letter?
Small Claims Court Letter is an AI tool that writes a formal demand letter, often called a letter before action. You describe who owes you, how much, and why, and the tool drafts a clear letter that states the debt, sets a deadline, and warns that you will file a claim if it is not paid.
The letter is not the court filing itself, but the warning that comes first. A well written letter often ends the dispute on its own, because many people pay once they see a real deadline.
When to Send a Letter Before Action
This letter fits any small money dispute where talking has stopped working. Common cases include:
- A client or customer who has not paid an invoice
- A deposit a landlord or company refuses to return
- A tradesperson who took payment and did not finish the work
- A private sale that went wrong and was never refunded
- A contact who borrowed money and stopped replying
How Does Small Claims Court Letter Work?
Write the facts of your dispute in the prompt box, choose an engine, open the advanced panel to set the voice, then generate. Your letter appears in the result card with its word count on a pill. Keep it short, because a judge later reading your file rewards clarity over volume, and use the list underneath to compare a firm draft with a softer one.
Four options do the most to shape a demand letter.
| Option | What it controls | Suggested start |
|---|---|---|
| Formality | The register of the letter, including a Legal option | Legal, for a letter before action |
| Tone | The mood, from Firm to Diplomatic | Firm, so the deadline is taken seriously |
| Assertiveness | How much pressure the wording carries, on a slider | Around 70%, since this is a final warning |
| Length | How long the letter runs | Short (150-250w) to keep it direct |
You can also set the Recipient to Individual or Company, and switch on a formal greeting, a formal sign-off, your contact info, and an enclosures note for copies of invoices or contracts. Use the Custom Instructions box to add the exact amount owed and the deadline date.
Important: A letter before action should give a reasonable deadline to pay, often around fourteen days. State the date in the Custom Instructions so the letter names it clearly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Small Claims Court Letter the same as filing a claim?
No. It is the warning letter you send before filing. Many disputes settle at this stage, and most courts expect you to try it before you start a claim.
How long should I give the other side to pay?
A common period is around fourteen days, though it varies by region. Name the exact deadline date in the Custom Instructions so the letter states it clearly.
Do I need a lawyer to use this tool?
No. Small claims are designed for people without lawyers. The tool drafts the letter, but it is not legal advice, so check your local court rules for large amounts.
Can I attach my invoice or contract?
Yes. Turn on the enclosures note and mention the documents in your prompt. The letter will refer to the copies you plan to include.
Is the tool really free?
Yes. Nothing to pay and nothing to join, so you can redraft until the deadline and the amount read exactly right.
Most people do not want to go to court, and neither does the person who owes you. A calm, firm letter that names the amount, sets a deadline, and states what happens next gives both sides a clean way to settle. The Small Claims Court Letter puts that letter in your hands in minutes.
