Development of a debt receipt

Do you lend money to friends, relatives or acquaintances? If so, then you know how difficult it can be to collect a debt later if there are misunderstandings. To protect yourself from such situations, it is recommended to issue a debt receipt. This is a simple but legally effective document that records the fact of the transfer of funds and the terms of their return.

What is a promissory note?

A debt receipt is a written document that confirms the fact of receiving a certain amount of money in debt by one person (the borrower) from another (the lender). It clearly spells out all the terms of the loan, including the amount of the debt, currency, term and procedure for its repayment, as well as the borrower’s responsibility in case of default.

When and why is it important to take a debt receipt from the borrower?

Issuance of a debt receipt is recommended in the following cases:

• The loan is provided for a significant amount.
• The loan is provided without a fixed repayment period.
• There is a risk of default on the part of the borrower.
• You want to have a clear legal document for debt collection if needed.

Here are some more reasons why it is important to have a debt receipt:

• It serves as a clear proof of the existence of debt. In the event of a dispute regarding the debt, the receipt will serve as legal proof that the borrower has indeed received the funds and is obligated to return them.
• It clearly defines the terms of the loan. The receipt should contain information about the amount of the debt, the term of its repayment, the interest rate (if any), as well as other important terms of the agreement. This helps to avoid misunderstandings and disputes in the future.
• It motivates the borrower to repay the debt. When a borrower knows that there is a written document that supports their debt, they are more likely to pay back on time.
• It can simplify the debt collection process. If the borrower does not return the debt, the presence of a receipt will greatly facilitate the process of its collection through the court.

What can be the consequences of an incorrectly completed receipt?

An incorrectly executed debt receipt can have serious consequences for the lender. For example, if it does not clearly state the amount of the debt or the term of its repayment, the court may refuse to recognize it as valid. This may result in the lender losing the ability to collect the debt from the borrower.
