Creditor, Objection to Debtor Offset

Review List

This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation. This letter is intended to object firmly to a notation, comment, or other written item on the face of a check objecting to the charges and stating unilaterally that this is in final settlement of the charges due.

To be effective, this kind of letter must be sent promptly and followed up clearly. If this is a unilateral offset by creditor, debtor should be able to collect as long as the debtor is solvent. If, however, the creditor discussed a payment with debtor, but did not in the end agree to one, the debtor has the potential to cloud the matter in court. If the creditor in fact made an offer as suggested by debtor, then the offer should be accepted and this letter not sentthough some creditors might be tempted to try to “get away” with it.

All of this is one reason why written correspondence of all kinds is better for both parties if they intend to meet their obligations. Oral conversations are best for defendants seeking wiggle room (e.g., “but he said....” and so on and so on). Be so advised about the business practicalities when engaging in this kind of transaction.

Having said this, a personal signature at the bottom of the letter is advised. You should also start a file on the debtor to anticipate further problems and have your records in order. This letter clearly puts the balance back into the “due” column and therefore should be attended to as if it were never objected to by debtor. Proceed accordingly.

Can a creditor call you at your workplace in Pennsylvania?

Yes, but only if the creditor has not been informed that the debtor does not want to be contacted at the place of their employment. Once the creditor has been made aware of such they can no longer legally make contact at the debtor's place of business. The debtor can render the notice verbally but it is strongly suggested that said debtor send a 'cease and desist' notice via registered mail to the creditor(s). The letter should state all the places and/or methods that the creditor(s) cannot contact the debtor, (i.e, place of employment, educational facility, home, family members home and/or cell phone, landline, internet, etc.).


What does it mean for credit balance of a debtors?

A credit balance of a debtor means that the debtor has paid more than what they owe, resulting in a positive balance on their account. This situation can arise from overpayments, returns, or adjustments. Essentially, it indicates that the creditor may owe the debtor money or that the debtor has a prepaid amount available for future transactions. It reflects a favorable position for the debtor in terms of their financial dealings with the creditor.
