small claims court cases are filed in Canada every single year.

From contractors who disappear to landlords who keep deposits — Canadians are owed money every day. The system exists to help you get it back.

70%

of people who are owed money never do anything about it.

Not because they do not have a case. Because the process feels complicated, expensive, and overwhelming. Most people do not even know where to start — and that is exactly the position I was in when I built this.

What is a demand letter?

A demand letter is a formal legal document you send to whoever owes you money. It clearly states what they owe, why they need to pay, and that you will be filing in small claims court if they do not respond within a set timeline.

It is your first move. It is professional. And it works more often than you would think.

40%

of cases are resolved by a demand letter alone — before ever going to court.

One letter. That is often all it takes. Ruled builds it for you in minutes — personalized to your case, province-specific, and ready to send.

The Story

Built from a bad experience.
Designed so it does not happen to you.

I built Ruled because I got screwed out of money and had no idea what to do. I did not know I could send a demand letter. I did not know I could represent myself in court for a small filing fee. Most people do not.

Ruled exists so the next person who gets ripped off — by a contractor, a landlord, a business that did not deliver — knows exactly what to do and has the tools to fight back.
