When a debtor fails to pay, creditors often need more than repeated follow-ups or informal promises.
An Acknowledgement of Debt (AOD) records the debtor’s admission of liability and sets out clear repayment terms.
A Deed of Suretyship can provide additional protection by making another person or entity liable if the debtor does not pay.
These documents are especially useful where the debtor is a company, as directors and shareholders are not automatically personally liable for company debts.
If you are dealing with unpaid invoices, a defaulting company, or a debtor asking for a payment arrangement, legal advice can help protect your recovery position.
