Description

A composition with creditors is a common-law device for the compromise of debts. Pursuant to an agreement between an insolvent or financially embarrassed debtor and two or more creditors, the creditors, in consideration of an early payment, agree to discharge their respective claims on receipt of payment of a fraction of the amount the debtor actually owes. Additionally, a composition may take the form of an agreement by creditors to extend the time in which the debtor may pay the creditors' claims, or may consist in a total discharge of the debts. When executed, a composition operates as a complete discharge of the debtor as to all who share in it, and each assenting creditor is subsequently estopped from recovering on the original debt. Composition agreements for the relief of insolvent debtors have been superseded, to a great extent, by proceedings under the Federal Bankruptcy Act and various state insolvency laws. They are, however, still of considerable importance in some jurisdictions. Composition with Creditors with Installment Payments Secured by Notes of Debtor and Guarantor is a type of financing arrangement in which a debtor, usually an individual or a business, agrees to repay their creditors over time in installments. The agreement is secured by notes of the debtor and guarantor, meaning that the creditor will have a lien on the assets of the debtor and guarantor to secure repayment. This type of arrangement is most commonly used when the debtor is unable to pay their creditors in full and is unable to obtain financing from other sources. It provides an opportunity for the debtor to negotiate a reduced amount of debt with their creditors and provides the creditors with the assurance that they will be paid in full. There are two types of Composition with Creditors with Installment Payments Secured by Notes of Debtor and Guarantor. The first is a lump-sum payment, where the debtor agrees to make a single payment to the creditors to settle the debt. The second is an installment payment, where the debtor agrees to make regular payments towards the debt over a period of time. In either case, the debt must be secured by a note of the debtor and guarantor in order for the creditors to be paid in full.
