Acknowledgement of Debt 1 Debtor Payment in Instalments

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DEBT 1 Debtor, payment in instalments

Summary This Acknowledgement of Debt may be used where a debt is owed by a single person or legal entity. An Acknowledgement of Debt is a form of debtor’s payment undertaking, and is used to acknowledge and confirm that a debt is due, and to specify that the debt is payable in a number of instalments.

Why do I need an AOD? If you or your business has debtors that owe money, an Acknowledgement of Debt may be used to confirm the amount owed and the agreed payment terms. An AOD confirms that a debt is due, and sets out an undertaking by the Debtor to pay the debt off in regular instalments at agreed intervals. If the debt is not paid as agreed, the creditor may use the Acknowledgement of Debt to take further action.
