Dear [Recipient’s Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring a matter of great importance to your attention. This correspondence serves as a Stop Payment Notice, pertaining to [specific transaction/contract/purchase/order] dated [date]. Montgomery Maryland Stop Payment Notice is a legal document issued by a party to prohibit the payment of funds to a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier who has not fulfilled the terms of an agreement or contract. Such notices are commonly employed in situations where the paying party becomes aware of a breach of contract, non-compliance, or dissatisfaction with the quality of work. In Montgomery County, Maryland, there are three main types of Stop Payment Notices that can be utilized: 1. Conditional Stop Payment Notice: This type of notice is issued when the paying party has reasonable cause to believe that the contractor has not satisfied its obligations as per the contract terms, such as delivering defective goods or failing to complete the agreed-upon work. By issuing a Conditional Stop Payment Notice, the paying party reserves the right to hold funds until the dispute is resolved. 2. Unconditional Stop Payment Notice: This type of notice is issued when the paying party is certain that the contractor has not fulfilled its contractual obligations. The issuing party asserts the right to withhold payment until the matter is resolved, without conditions or preconditions. 3. Notice of Completion and Stop Payment Notice: This notice is typically issued by the owner or the consumer when the contracted work has been completed or is nearing completion and there are concerns regarding the fulfillment of the obligations by the contractor. This notice serves as a precautionary measure to protect the owner's interests and ensures that any remaining payments are withheld until all issues are resolved. In the case of the aforementioned [specific transaction/contract/purchase/order], we have identified discrepancies/non-compliance/defects that have caused substantial concern. Despite your previous assurance to rectify the situation, no satisfactory resolution has been achieved within the agreed-upon timeframe. To protect our rights and financial interests, we hereby serve you with this Stop Payment Notice. We insist that no further payments be made until the issues are promptly addressed, rectified, and proper compliance with the terms of our agreement is established. We trust that you understand the gravity of the situation and will take immediate action to resolve these matters. Failure to do so may result in legal actions and further remedies pursued to ensure our rights are protected. Please consider this letter as a formal notification of our intent to halt any payments until the said issues are adequately resolved. We eagerly await your timely response and a satisfactory resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Title/Organization] [Contact Information]
