• Legal names and addresses of the debtor/owner

• Description of the item (VIN, make/model, serial number)

• Amount owing (repairs, towing, storage, admin) and the daily storage rate

• Location of the goods and where payment is to be made

• The intended action: retain until paid or proceed to sale if unpaid by the deadline

• The deadline to pay (statutory waiting periods apply)

• Contact details for questions and redemption

Note: Timing, service method, and who must be served vary depending on whether you’re a repairer or storer, whether you still have possession, and whether secured creditors are registered. We handle those nuances for you.
