Request for Extension of Time to Pay Debt

This letter is sent by a debtor to request an extension of time for them to pay the debt they owe. The debtor is any individual or company that owes money, while the creditor is the party to whom money is owed.

The Loan Agreement, Promissory Note, or other document may state the precise date for repayment but due to some unfortunate and unforeseen circumstance, the debtor may be unable to satisfy their loan obligations on time. As a result, a debtor can use this letter to request extra time to repay their debt.

The debtor should use this document if the due date for the repayment is either approaching or elapsed. Note that this letter may be a suitable response to a Monetary Demand Letter.
