Writing an acknowledgment of debt is an important part of documenting any agreement between yourself and another party, as it serves to confirm that the parties involved have both agreed on the terms of the debt. An acknowledgment of debt should include the following information:
• The full names and addresses of both parties
• A description of the debt
• The amount of the debt
• The agreed-upon payment terms
• The date the debt was incurred
• Any additional pertinent information
For example, an acknowledgment of debt might read something like this:
This document is a formal acknowledgement of debt between [PARTY A] and [PARTY B]. On [DATE], [PARTY A] was indebted to [PARTY B] in the amount of [AMOUNT] for [DESCRIPTION]. This debt is due and payable on [DUE DATE], with a late fee of [LATE FEE], if the payment is not received by that date.
By signing this document, [PARTY A] and [PARTY B] are both confirming their agreement to the terms of the debt and its repayment.
Signed,
[PARTY A]
[PARTY B]
