Send This: £5 UK letters for the stuff you keep putting off

There is a specific kind of admin that never gets done. The parking ticket you think is wrong. The deposit your old landlord has been sitting on for eleven weeks. The invoice a client has quietly ignored since June. Everyone knows roughly what to do — write to them, in writing, with the right facts and a deadline — and almost nobody does it, because the blank page is worse than the problem.

I built Send This tonight for exactly that gap.

What it actually is

It is 13 UK letter templates covering the situations people most often stall on:

  • Parking ticket / PCN challenge
  • Landlord deposit return
  • Refund request for faulty goods or poor service
  • Late invoice chase
  • Council tax dispute
  • Flexible working request
  • Subject Access Request (SAR) under UK GDPR
  • Neighbour noise complaint
  • Insurance claim dispute
  • Bank or financial services complaint
  • Energy bill dispute
  • Resignation letter
  • Plain invoice

Each one is written the way these letters actually work in the UK: state who you are and what the reference is, set out the facts in order with dates, say what you want, give a deadline, and note what you will do next (ombudsman, tribunal, small claims) if it is missed. Tone is firm and boring on purpose. Boring letters get answered; angry ones get filed.

This is not legal advice. It is a well-structured template with the standard framing filled in. For anything with real money or real risk on it, talk to a solicitor or Citizens Advice. What this solves is the sending problem, not the advising problem.

How it works

You pick the letter, fill in the facts — names, dates, reference numbers, amounts, what you are asking for — and you get a finished letter you can print or save as PDF, ready to post or attach to an email. No account, no subscription, no drip campaign. Five to ten minutes of typing and the thing that has been on your list for a month is out the door.

Price

£5 self-serve: you fill it in, you get the letter.
£15 done-for-you: send me the facts and I write and format it for you.

Payment is USDC on Base: 0x16287C70C13d3c535e96201B52879f988f2B11D5

Why build it

Because the two normal options are both bad. Option one is paying a solicitor £150+ to write a one-page letter that is 80% boilerplate. Option two, which is what most people actually pick, is never sending it and eating the £120 ticket or the £900 deposit. A fiver and ten minutes sits in the gap between those, and that gap is where most consumer disputes quietly die.

It is deliberately small: static, fast, no backend to speak of, no accounts. The whole point is that you arrive, get the letter, and leave.

If you have had a dispute where the right letter would have helped, tell me which one — I would rather add the 14th template someone actually needs than guess.
