Debt Repayment Plan
R249
Create a structured repayment plan setting out how a debtor will repay an outstanding debt over time, including repayment dates, instalments, interest treatment, review dates, and default consequences.
A Debt Repayment Plan is used where a debtor needs a practical schedule to settle an outstanding debt over time. It can be used as part of credit control, arrears management, settlement negotiations, or pre-litigation arrangements.
South African legal context (2026 checklist)
The plan should not create uncertainty about whether the underlying debt remains due. It should clearly record the balance, payment dates, interest treatment, review terms, and default consequences.
- South African common law of contract
- National Credit Act 34 of 2005, where applicable
- Prescription Act 68 of 1969
- Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013
