RE: Payment Plan Request for Account No. (Account #)

Dear (Ms/Mr. Ford:)

As you already know, the above-referenced account is (past due/delinquent.)

I understand the consequences that could be brought against me if the account is not brought current. At this time, I am requesting to be considered for a payment plan program that would allow me to keep making lower payments until I can resume normal payments or the debt is paid in full.

My current economic situation will allow me to make (monthly, weekly) payments of no more than ($) Dollars.

Attached, you can find xerox copies of personal documents that will corroborate my financial difficulty at the moment. (Include photocopies of bank statements, late notices, vehicle repossession, proof of income, anything that can prove hardship.)

Please let me know if my offer is acceptable in writing or you can call me at (Your Daytime Telephone #) to discuss further options.

Sincerely,

(Your Name)
(Your Address)
(Your Phone #)
