How to use this objection letter template

Enter the parties, statement period and actual receipt date if known. Select only reasons that apply to your statement.
Create the template and check the specific objections. A request to inspect invoices or a general reservation alone does not replace specific objections or extend any deadline.
Copy or download the letter and send it yourself with proof of delivery. Objections generally must be communicated within twelve months of receipt. The letter does not automatically suspend payment deadlines.
