The Loan Recovery Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian banking and lending operations, serving as a formal demand for payment from defaulting borrowers. It is typically issued after initial payment defaults and informal recovery attempts have been unsuccessful. The letter must comply with Nigerian banking regulations, particularly BOFIA 2020 and relevant debt recovery laws. It includes specific details about the loan default, outstanding amounts, payment requirements, and potential legal consequences. This document is often a prerequisite for legal action and demonstrates the lender's attempt to recover the debt through formal channels before pursuing litigation. The Loan Recovery Letter should be drafted carefully to ensure it meets all regulatory requirements while effectively communicating the demand for payment.
