Description

An open account is created when the parties intend that the individual items of the account will not be considered independently, but as a connected series of transactions. In addition, the parties must intend that the account will be kept open and subject to a shifting balance as additional related entries of debits and credits are made, until either party decides to settle and close the account. In an open account, there is but one single and indivisible liability arising from the series of related and reciprocal debits and credits. This single liability is to be fixed at the time of settlement, or following the last pertinent entry of the account. Finally, the balance must be mutually agreed on by the parties or implicitly imposed on them by law. New Jersey Demand for Payment of an Open Account by Creditor serves as an important legal tool used by creditors to assert their rights and demand payment from debtors. This formal demand letter is written when a debtor fails to make payments on an outstanding open account, which is essentially a credit account with no set payment schedule or end date. The purpose of this document is to provide a clear and concise statement to the debtor, specifying the outstanding balance and the urgency of immediate payment. In New Jersey, there are two primary types of Demand for Payment of an Open Account by Creditor that can be employed, depending on the circumstances: 1. Simple Demand for Payment: This type of demand letter is used when a debtor has not made any payments towards the outstanding balance on an open account. The creditor outlines their rights, states the exact amount owed, provides a deadline for payment, and warns of potential legal action if the debtor fails to comply. 2. Final Demand for Payment: This type of demand letter is generally reserved for situations where a creditor has previously sent a simple demand for payment but has not received any response or payment from the debtor. It typically serves as a final warning, reiterating the details of the simple demand for payment, escalating the urgency for payment, and explicitly stating that legal action will be pursued if the debtor fails to settle the debt within the specified time frame.
