PROMISE TO PAY AGREEMENT / LETTER TEMPLATE FAQ


What is a promise to pay letter or agreement?

A Promise to Pay Agreement (or letter) is a written confirmation that a person or business owes money and commits to pay it back under specific terms. It’s commonly used for overdue invoices, personal loans, informal debts, or settlement arrangements.


Is a promise to pay letter legally binding?

Often yes, if it clearly states the amount owed, payment schedule, and is signed by the parties. Enforceability depends on local law and the underlying debt. This template is a general format to document repayment terms.


What should be included?

Include: parties, amount owed, reason for the debt (optional), payment schedule, due dates, late fees (optional), where payments go, and what happens if payment is missed. This template includes a short agreement format plus a letter-style format.


Should you include interest or late fees?

You can, if permitted by law and agreed by the parties. If you want a simple letter, you can omit interest and keep it to a clear schedule.


Should you notarize it?

Not usually required, but notarization can help prove identity and signature authenticity. This template includes optional witness and notary sections.
