Is this you?

Made for exactly this situation

Someone owes you money for goods, services, rent, invoices, damage, or a broken agreement

You want a formal letter before deciding whether to make a money claim

You have contracts, invoices, receipts, messages, photos, and amount calculations

You need a tidy evidence bundle rather than a scattered email chain

Evidence checklist

Gather these first

A letter before claim should not read like an angry email. It should identify the parties, explain what happened, state what you want, show how the amount is calculated, and attach the key evidence. PackMyDocs builds that structure from your files.

0/7 Tick off what you have.

Contract, quote, invoice, or agreement Shows what was agreed, who was involved, and the amount or obligation. Required
Timeline of what happened A clear chronology helps separate facts from argument. Required
Payment records or receipts Supports what you paid, what remains unpaid, or what loss you are claiming. Required
Messages with the other side Emails, texts, and letters show attempts to resolve the dispute and any admissions. Required
Amount calculation Explains how you reached the number in the letter. Required
Photos, reports, or delivery records Useful for faulty work, damaged property, delivery disputes, or incomplete service. If it applies
Prior complaint or response Shows what has already been said and whether the other side refused or ignored the issue. If it applies

Tick off what you already have — progress stays on this device.

After you hit send

How the process usually goes

STEP 1

Try to resolve the dispute first

Official and advice-sector guidance encourages a formal written step before starting a money claim. The packet records what you already tried.

STEP 2

State the claim clearly

A good letter says who you are, what happened, what you want, how much you claim, and how the amount was calculated.

STEP 3

Attach only useful evidence

The goal is a focused bundle, not a document dump. PackMyDocs indexes evidence so the reader can find the proof behind each point.

STEP 4

Keep delivery and response records

Save the final packet, proof of sending, and any response. If the dispute continues, those records become part of your case file.

Common questions

How much does it cost?

Previewing the checklist and sample packet is free. If you decide to build your own finished letter before claim packet, it costs $15.

What do I actually upload?

Contracts, invoices, receipts, bank transfer proof, photos, emails, text screenshots, delivery records, repair estimates, and your calculation of what is owed.

Is this a court filing?

No. It is a preparation packet for a pre-claim letter and evidence file. You decide whether to send it, revise it, get advice, or start a claim.

Can PackMyDocs tell me whether I have a good case?

No. PackMyDocs organizes facts and documents. It does not assess legal merits, limitation dates, court rules, or strategy.

What if the amount is not exact?

Upload the records you have and the packet will show the calculation and the evidence behind each line. If an estimate is uncertain, it should be labelled as such.

Is this legal advice?

No. PackMyDocs prepares a document packet from your materials. For legal advice, use a qualified adviser or official court/help resources.
