A Payment Agreement is a legally binding contract between two parties that outlines the terms and conditions for the repayment of a debt or financial obligation. This agreement is used to ensure that both the debtor (the party owing money) and the creditor (the party to whom money is owed) understand their rights and responsibilities regarding the payment. Key elements typically included in a Payment Agreement are:
