Promise a Delayed Payment to a Creditor

Last Updated On August 28, 2018 By Letter Writing Leave a Comment

This letter should ensure the creditor that you are intending to pay back, as soon as you can. Use very simple language and don’t commit payment which you cannot pay later, be very honest about your situation. A common mistake that people do is that they make payment promises that they won’t be able to fulfil later. That should be avoided. Being honest helps.

Writing this letter ensures that you are taking accountability for your delayed payment and are giving your right reasons for the same. It is helpful in maintaining business relations and not preceding one’s trust. It’s necessary to give the exact details as to why you can’t make the payment immediately and why exactly you need extra time.
