"So Simple. So Easy. Thank you. My lawyer charged me $475 last time plus $175 for service. Tis way I did it all myself and a lot faster. Why are there not more sites like this?

"Thank you for the ease of understanding on this topic and on your topic "Debt Collecting". I issued the Statutory Demand document myself against a company that owed my company $13,000. I copied and pasted off your site, filled in the simple details and served it. They paid within 4 days!!! I then rang 2 law firms on the North Shore and asked for a quote for exactly the same work and they quoted $450 plus GST and "$600 all up". Richard - North Auckland."

"Helpful, but I would like some more fact scenarios to assit me in my decision . . . but it was the best site I found because it ties all relevant sites together. Not too many fancy words. Wheelbarrow and corrugated iron are about my limits. Well done! John D. - Hamilton June 2007"
