Once your claim letter is written and reviewed, the next step in the process is simple but crucial: mailing the letter.
This officially notifies the lender (and sometimes the installer) of your legal demands and starts the countdown to arbitration. It may seem like a small task, but this step is legally significant and carefully tracked by our team.
Here’s what happens during this phase and why it matters.
A Final Review for Accuracy
Before any letter is mailed, it’s reviewed by our legal team to ensure every detail is accurate. This includes a line-by-line check by one of our legal assistants, who will:
- Cross-reference the letter with your loan and installation contracts
- Confirm that all relevant legal claims and demands are listed correctly
- Verify that the mailing address matches the one listed in your contract
- Ensure that your fee agreement and client information are correctly reflected
This review ensures that your claim letter is airtight and ready to stand up to scrutiny from the other side.
Tracking the Letter…and the Clock
Once the claim letter has passed final review, we print, package, and mail it to the opposing party. We also generate a tracking number and monitor the delivery every step of the way. This isn’t just for peace of mind. It’s a legal requirement.
The 60-day waiting period mandated by most arbitration agreements begins the day the letter is delivered, not the day it’s mailed. That’s why we keep a close eye on the tracking status.
Once it’s marked as delivered, the clock starts ticking.
What This Step Means for Your Case
Mailing the claim letter is a required step that gives the other side one last chance to respond or settle the matter informally. In solar panel cases, settlements at this stage are rare, but it still provides a legal opportunity for the installer or lender to avoid arbitration.
If no resolution is reached within the 60-day window, we are cleared to move forward with the next stage: filing for arbitration.
