Everything you need to know about Acknowledgment of Debt agreements
What is an Acknowledgment of Debt?
An Acknowledgment of Debt is a legal document where a debtor formally acknowledges owing a specific amount to a creditor and commits to repaying it under agreed terms. It's commonly used for loans, unpaid invoices, or payment arrangements.
Is this enforceable in South African courts?
Yes. When properly signed and witnessed, an Acknowledgment of Debt is legally binding and enforceable in South African courts. It can be used as evidence in debt recovery proceedings. We recommend having your attorney review the document before signing.
What information do I need to include?
You'll need the parties' details (creditor and debtor), total debt amount, reason for debt, payment schedule (lump sum or installments), interest rate, payment method, and any default consequences. Our questionnaire guides you through all required details.
Can I charge interest on the debt?
Yes. You can specify an interest rate in the agreement. Our AI will help structure the interest calculation and compound it into the payment schedule. Make sure the interest rate complies with South African usury laws (consult your attorney if unsure).
Do both parties need to sign the agreement?
Yes. For the agreement to be valid, both the creditor (person owed) and the debtor (person owing) must sign. We also recommend having the signatures witnessed for additional legal strength.
What happens if the debtor defaults?
The agreement includes default provisions specifying consequences such as accelerated payment (full amount due immediately), additional penalties, and legal costs recovery. You can use the signed agreement as evidence to pursue legal debt collection.
