The Letter of Agreement for Payment of Debt is a crucial document used in Canadian business and personal financial transactions when parties need to formalize arrangements for debt repayment. This document is particularly useful when converting an informal or disputed debt into a clear, documented obligation, or when restructuring existing payment terms. It includes essential elements such as debt acknowledgment, payment schedule, interest rates (compliant with Canadian regulations), and default provisions. The agreement is governed by Canadian federal laws such as the Interest Act and provincial legislation regarding limitations and enforcement. It's commonly used in situations where parties want to avoid litigation while establishing a clear, legally binding repayment structure. The document can be customized to include security interests, acceleration clauses, or other specific terms while maintaining compliance with relevant federal and provincial regulations.
