4,800.00 USD - 400.00 USD monthly (12 payments)
Interest-free / personal or business check
This Payment Plan Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as of March 1, 2026, by and between Summit Medical Group ("Creditor") and Thomas Wright ("Debtor"). The parties agree to the following terms regarding the structured repayment of the debt described herein:
1.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DEBT
Debtor acknowledges and agrees that Debtor owes Creditor the total sum of 4,800.00 USD for the following: Outstanding balance for medical services rendered in January-February 2026, patient account #SM-4892. Debtor agrees to repay this amount in full according to the payment schedule set forth herein. Acknowledgment of Limitations Period. The Parties acknowledge that state statutes of limitations governing written contracts and account stated claims typically range from three (3) to six (6) years, depending on the governing state (e.g., Cal. Code Civ. Proc. §337 (4 yrs written); N.Y. CPLR §213 (6 yrs); Tex. Civ. Prac. and Rem. Code §16.004 (4 yrs); Fla. Stat. §95.11 (5 yrs written)). Debtor further acknowledges the doctrine of revival of debt: under the common law and state-statute equivalents of most jurisdictions, a partial payment, a written acknowledgment, or a new written promise to pay an otherwise time-barred debt may restart the running of the limitations period. To the extent permitted by the governing state, this written Agreement constitutes such an acknowledgment of the debt described herein. This Agreement is a written modification of the original obligation and, where that obligation arose from a sale of goods, satisfies the no-additional-consideration modification rule of UCC §2-209(1) and any applicable state statute of frauds.
2.
PAYMENT SCHEDULE
Debtor agrees to make monthly installment payments of 400.00 USD each, beginning April 1, 2026 and continuing on the same day of each subsequent payment period for a total of 12 payments. All payments shall be made by personal or business check to Creditor at the address or account information provided above.
3.
INTEREST-FREE ARRANGEMENT
The parties agree that no interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance, provided Debtor makes all required payments on time. This interest-free arrangement is conditioned upon Debtor's strict compliance with all payment obligations herein. Should Debtor default, Creditor reserves the right to apply interest at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
4.
PREPAYMENT
Debtor may prepay the outstanding balance in whole or in part at any time without penalty. Any prepayment shall be applied first to any accrued interest and then to the remaining principal balance, reducing the total number of installments remaining.
5.
LATE PAYMENT AND DEFAULT
A payment not received within 5 day(s) of its due date shall incur a late fee of 30.00 USD per occurrence. If Debtor fails to make 2 or more consecutive required payments, Creditor may, at Creditor's sole discretion, declare the entire outstanding balance immediately due and payable ("Acceleration"). Creditor shall provide written notice of such acceleration to Debtor at the address listed above. Any partial settlement, compromise, or forgiveness of principal may constitute discharge-of-indebtedness income under IRC §108(a), and Creditor may be required to issue IRS Form 1099-C if the forgiven amount equals or exceeds $600 in a calendar year.
6.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in the State of Arizona, to whose exclusive jurisdiction both parties hereby consent. The prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs.
7.
ADDITIONAL TERMS
Payments shall be mailed by check to the address above, postmarked no later than the 1st of each month.
8.
FEDERAL CONSUMER-CREDIT AND DEBT-COLLECTION COMPLIANCE
To the extent this Agreement relates to a debt arising from a consumer transaction (incurred primarily for personal, family, or household purposes), the following federal statutes shall apply and shall control over any inconsistent provision: (a) the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. §§1692-1692p, governing the conduct of any third-party debt collector retained to collect on this obligation; (b) the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq., including the furnisher-accuracy and dispute-investigation duties of 15 U.S.C. §1681s-2; (c) the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, 15 U.S.C. §1691 et seq., prohibiting discrimination in the terms of this repayment arrangement on any prohibited basis; (d) the supervisory and enforcement authority of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau under 12 U.S.C. §5491 et seq. and the Bureau's UDAAP authority under 12 U.S.C. §5531; and (e) state analogues, including state debt-collection statutes and state unfair-trade-practices acts. The Parties further acknowledge that the interest rate (if any) is subject to state usury caps and that any forgiven principal may constitute cancellation-of-debt ("COD") income under IRC §108(a), requiring IRS Form 1099-C reporting under IRC §6050P.
9.
GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The statute of limitations for enforcement of this Agreement shall be the written-contract period of the governing state, and the Parties expressly acknowledge that partial payment hereunder may restart that limitations period to the extent permitted by state law.
10.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the repayment of the debt described herein and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, or agreements relating to this subject matter. No modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. All notices required under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered to the addresses listed above.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the Effective Date first written above.

What Is a Payment Plan Agreement?

A payment plan agreement is a legally binding contract used throughout the United States between a creditor and debtor that restructures debt repayment into manageable installment payments. Instead of demanding full payment upfront, the creditor agrees to accept the debt in structured payments over a specified period. This document protects both parties by clearly outlining payment amounts, due dates, interest rates, and consequences for non-payment.

Payment plan agreements are used by American individuals, businesses, medical facilities, creditors, and lenders to formalize debt restructuring arrangements. Whether someone owes on an unpaid invoice, medical bill, personal loan, or business debt, a U.S. payment plan agreement provides legal clarity and enforceability if payment disputes arise.

Creating a written payment plan agreement is far more effective than a verbal arrangement under U.S. law. It establishes clear expectations, reduces misunderstandings, and provides documentation if legal action becomes necessary. Both parties can reference the original terms whenever questions arise about payment obligations.

How to Create Your Payment Plan Agreement

Creating a payment plan agreement requires no legal background. Our template walks you through every section, with clear instructions for customization. You can complete your agreement in minutes.

  1. 1

    Enter Parties Information

    Provide the full legal names, addresses, and contact information for both the creditor and the debtor. Include any business names or formal designations if applicable.

  2. 2

    Specify Debt Amount and Details

    Document the original debt amount, the date it was incurred, and what the debt is for. Be specific about what the principal amount covers in the restructured payment plan.

  3. 3

    Define Payment Schedule

    Set the frequency (monthly, bi-weekly, quarterly, etc.), amount of each payment, and the total number of payments. Specify exact due dates to avoid any confusion about payment deadlines.

  4. 4

    Add Interest and Penalties

    Specify the annual interest rate (if any), how interest is calculated, and define late payment fees. Research your state's usury laws to ensure your interest rate complies with local regulations.

  5. 5

    Review and Sign

    Carefully review the entire agreement for accuracy and clarity. Have both parties sign and date the document. Consider notarization for additional legal protection, especially for larger debt amounts.

Legal Considerations for US Payment Plan Agreements

U.S. payment plan agreements are enforceable legal contracts. Before you finalize your agreement, it's important to understand the legal framework that governs these documents in your American state. Different jurisdictions have specific requirements and limitations that may affect your payment plan terms.

This template is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. For complex situations or if you are unsure about your specific case, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.

Interest Rate Caps and Usury Laws

Each U.S. state has different rules about how much interest can be charged on a debt. These limits, called usury laws, are designed to protect American borrowers from excessive interest rates. Your U.S. state may have specific caps for different types of loans. Before setting an interest rate in your payment plan, research your state's current usury limits to ensure your rate complies. Some American states allow higher rates for consumer transactions than for other types of agreements.

Written Agreement Requirements

Payment plan agreements must be in writing to be enforceable in most jurisdictions. Verbal agreements about payment plans are difficult to prove and enforce. The written document should clearly state all terms, including the original debt amount, payment schedule, interest rate, and conditions for default. Both parties should receive a signed copy for their records.

Default and Legal Remedies

Your agreement should define what constitutes default, such as missing a certain number of payments. Some agreements may allow the creditor to demand the entire remaining balance immediately if the debtor defaults. Others may provide a grace period or require notice before acceleration. Be clear about what happens if payments are not made, as this affects your ability to enforce the agreement later if needed.
