A Louisiana Request for Compromise or Lump Sum Settlement is a legal document that an individual or business may use to settle a debt owed to the state of Louisiana. This document allows an individual or business to pay a single, lump sum payment to the state in exchange for settling the debt and waiving any additional fees or penalties. There are two types of Louisiana Request for Compromise or Lump Sum Settlement: voluntary and involuntary. A voluntary settlement is when the individual or business agrees to pay the lump sum payment in exchange for debt relief. An involuntary settlement is when the state of Louisiana has placed a lien on an individual or business’s property and is seeking payment of the debt. In either case, the individual or business must provide supporting documentation, such as proof of income and expenses, to the state in order to qualify for the settlement.
