What is a Payment Plan?

A payment plan is a procedure that is agreed upon between the vendor or creditor and buyer or debtor for the buyer to pay for an item they purchased or ordered over a specified length of time. This is done when the debotr cannot afford the full amount of the item they ordered and the creditor allows them to complete their payment over the course of months or years.

How to Make a Payment Plan Contract

1. Agree on the Payment Arrangement

The debtor and creditor must agree on which type of payment arrangement would suit both of them. There are two common types of payment plans and these are:

1. Goods or Services: This type of payment plan is for the debtor who purchased goods or services with the payment made over a term of around 6 to 18 months. Interest rates are included in this type of payment plan.
2. Outstanding Balance: This type of payment plan is when the debtor has funds that they owed to the debtor. Some examples of these are past debt and collections.

2. Create a Payment Agreement

Once the debtor and creditor agreed to the payment plan terms, it’s time to write the contract. When writing the contract, it must have the following details:

 

• Creditor’s and debtor’s name and address
• Acknowledgment of the balance owed by the debtor
• Amount Owed
• Interest rate (if applicable)
• Repayment period
• Payment instructions
• Late payment terms (if applicable)
• A choice of law or governing law
• Signature lines for the creditor and debtor to sign the contract

3. Begin the Payment Schedule

Once the contract is made and is signed by both parties, the creditor must obtain the debtor’s payment details. It’s either they may set up automatic payments by charging the debtor’s credit card or debit card or get the debtor’s bank account details for each installment period.

FAQs

After the balance amount owed by the debtor has been paid-in-full, the debtor will be finally released from the financial liability from the creditor. This is completed by creating a release form where they can clear out any outstanding balance in their credit report.
