How about "Please pay me the money within the next 10 days."?

Thanks for reply

I have asked the mobile company politely over the phone and with a supervisor twice, dating back two months. The situation has turned to a contract dispute (termination and device charge). I did have a copy sent from the company that clearly states reasons that a contract can be terminated without imposing a penalty. I qualified in two areas per the contract. I also have contract proof that there was no charge for the mobile device. I am asking for the deposit that was to be refunded per the contract.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You will need to refer to the contract in order to find out your recourse. It likely involves actual written letters followed by some sort of arbitration.

Letters/collection

Thank you again. Would you suggest a certified letter stating that the contract terms were broken and proof of this claim. Would my demand for payment also be in this same letter or should I separate the two?

As I was was writing this response, I have now received a letter from a collection agency that was sent from this cellular company. And not to my surprize as it is a collection company, I am being asked to pay a debt. I must assume that my first step of action with this would be a denial of debt letter (certified mail).

Apologize for the ongoing issue and appreciate the help!
