What if they ignore the letter?
If the other party ignores your letter of demand, the next step is filing a claim with the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). VCAT handles civil disputes up to $100,000 in Victoria. Claim Done can prepare your complete tribunal application for $79.
Letter of demand vs going straight to VCAT
VCAT requires applicants to demonstrate they attempted to resolve the dispute before filing. A properly sent letter of demand satisfies this requirement and is often all that is needed — most respondents pay within the 14-day deadline rather than face tribunal proceedings.
