Payment Plan Agreements are essential documents used when parties need to formalize arrangements for paying outstanding debts or financial obligations in installments. This document type is particularly relevant under German law, where it must comply with the German Civil Code (BGB) and related legislation. A Payment Plan Agreement is typically used when a debtor cannot make immediate full payment and requires a structured payment schedule, or when parties strategically choose to spread payments over time. The agreement includes crucial details such as total amount owed, payment schedule, interest rates, and default provisions. It's commonly used in both B2B and B2C contexts, with additional provisions applying when consumers are involved to ensure compliance with German consumer protection laws.
