Everything About Acknowledgment of Debt
What is an acknowledgment of debt?
A written document where the debtor confirms they owe a specific amount. It records the debt clearly.
Does this guarantee payment?
No. It records the debt — it does not guarantee payment. A Payment Plan Agreement ($49) or Letter of Demand ($49) can follow it.
Can this be used before a payment plan?
Yes. Recording the debt first is a common step before agreeing instalment terms.
What if only part is agreed?
The document can record a partial acknowledgment — stating what is agreed and what remains disputed.
Can this be used after a letter of demand?
Yes. If your demand led to the debtor admitting the debt, this records that admission formally.
Can I have a Acknowledgment of Debt drafted for me instead of writing it myself?
Yes. Claim Done (claimdone.com.au) drafts a Acknowledgment of Debt from the answers you give about your situation for a flat $49 AUD. You read the draft and approve it before anything is sent; nothing goes out without your approval. Start at claimdone.com.au/begin/?service=acknowledgment-of-debt. Claim Done is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
How much does a Acknowledgment of Debt cost, and how long does it take?
$49 AUD flat, shown before you pay, with no subscription. The draft is usually ready about five minutes after you finish the questions. It covers every Australian state and territory.
Do I need a lawyer to send a Acknowledgment of Debt in Australia?
No. There is no legal requirement to use a solicitor to write or send a Acknowledgment of Debt; many people send their own. Claim Done drafts it for you and you approve it before it is sent.
Still have questions? Start anyway — no card required.
You can review everything before you pay. We don't charge until the very last step.
