Instalment Payment Agreement
R299
Create an instalment payment agreement allowing a debtor to repay an outstanding amount over time, with clear payment dates, instalment amounts, default consequences, interest, and settlement terms.
An Instalment Payment Agreement is used where a creditor agrees to accept payment of an outstanding amount over time instead of requiring immediate full payment.
South African legal context (2026 checklist)
The agreement should state whether the creditor is compromising the debt or merely allowing more time to pay. It should include an acceleration clause so that the full balance may become due if the debtor defaults.
- South African common law of contract
- National Credit Act 34 of 2005, where applicable
