Release By Creditor

This review list is being supplied to you in order to inform you about the document in question and to aid you in preparing it for submission. Before making a final payment to a creditor, you must first get this Agreement, which must be signed by the creditor in issue and attested by a third party. Include this form as part of your settlement request as a proactive measure. It is important to note that you are not required to sign the Agreement and should not do so unless they specifically request that you do so as a countersignature. Sign this only after they have completed the task or at the same time as the meeting.

1. Make many copies for each of the parties. Keep a copy in your home safe (if you haven’t obtained one yet, consider this another reminder to do so) and an original in your financial records.

2. Share a copy of this agreement with prospective creditors to demonstrate that settlements can be successful and that they can be handled efficiently. This puts them on notice of your knowledge and experience in the area, as well as providing a strategy for resolving the issue that has been effectively implemented in other situations.

3. This form should be used whenever you are compromising a claim with a creditor. It withstands the test of time and eliminates the prospect of a future dispute, which is especially important if the creditor is sold, combined, or otherwise restructured.
