Show HN: FreeDemandLetter – A Weapon for Anyone Who's Sick of Getting Shafted

Folks,

If you’ve ever been stiffed by a client, contractor, or random jerk, let me tell you: sending a “Please pay me ___” Post-it note ain’t gonna cut it. That’s why I built FreeDemandLetter—and no, I’m not a lawyer, but I sure was a pissed-off contractor who got sick of watching lawyers charge $400 an hour to type three paragraphs.

Why You Should Care

- $230M in back wages was recovered by the Dept. of Labor last year alone. Who knows how much went unclaimed because people didn’t want to fork over a kidney for attorney fees?

- 40% of home-improvement disputes end up in small claims—translation: half of us are basically DIY’ing the legal system.

- 26% of renters are out there losing deposits while the landlord buys a new hot tub.

Key Features

1. State-Specific Templates – Because the law changes faster than your ex’s feelings.

2. Quick & Easy – Draft a legal letter in minutes so you can get back to binge-watching Netflix.

3. Proven Effectiveness – Formal demand letters often get people to cough up what they owe.

I’d love your thoughts, your flame wars, your success stories, or your cynicism. Let it rip.
