Description

Use this form if you have a dispute you’ve been unable to resolve -- such as the return of your property or money that's owed to you -- and you need to take that first step toward resolving it in a formal manner.

Important to Know

• Be polite, concise and specific about what you want and what your next step will be if the problem is not resolved.
• If you are trying to recover money that you lent out using a promissory note, use "Demand for Overdue Repayment on Promissory Note."
• If you’ve received a bad check, use "Demand to Make Good on Bad Check" form instead.
• If you are demanding the return of your security deposit from a landlord, use "Tenant's Demand for Return of Security Deposit."
• If you have a dispute with an online auction seller, use "Online Auction Buyer Demand Letter."

System Requirements

Operating system: Windows- and Macintosh-compatible. The computer you use to purchase an eForm must be the same computer you will download it to. (For example, don't purchase the eForm using your computer at work if you intend to download it later on to your home computer; instead, wait until you're on the computer you intend to download the eForm to and then make your purchase. After you've downloaded the file, you will be able to "transfer" it to another computer by copying it to external media or by email.) In addition, you will not be able to download this file if:

• cookies are disabled on your computer, or
• a firewall prevents you from downloading files from the Internet.

Software: Before you can use an eForm, additional software must be installed:
To expand the ZIP archive you download after making your purchase, you'll need:

• A decompression utility such as the following, both of which can be downloaded for free:

• 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org) (for Windows users).
• StuffIt Expander (http://my.smithmicro.com/mac/stuffit/expander.html) (for Macintosh). Please note: Many recently manufactured Macs have a native capability to decompress zip files. See your computer's user manual for verification of this and instructions for access.

To open, fill out and print an eForm, you need a word processor that "reads" RTF (rich text format) files:

• Windows XP, Vista & 7 all come with WordPad, an RTF-compatible word processor.
• Macintosh OS X comes with TextEdit, an RTF-compatible word processor; non-OS X users need Word 5.0 or greater, WordPerfect 2.1 or greater, or another RTF-compatible word processor.
