These letter templates are part of the method described in the Debt Negotiation Guide for dealing with debt without borrowing more money or using other professional services. If you prefer to let experienced debt advisors work on your behalf rather than doing it yourself, You should look at the pages on Debt Settlement, Debt Management Plans and IVAs.

The Debt Negotiation Guide explains the other things you need to do in order to begin to tackle your debt problems. When you send these letters to your creditors you will need to include with the letters a Financial Statement that you have prepared. A guide to how to prepare this and a template form for a Personal Financial Statement can be found on the Personal Financial Statement page.

When you look at the Debt Negotiation Guide you will see that you need to split your creditors into two groups, so there are two template letters below, one for each group of creditors. These are your Priority Creditors and your Secondary Creditors. When you write to both groups you need to include your Financial Statement, and this is so that they can see what your situation is in black and white and know that you do not have the money to meet your normal payments.

The easiest way to use the template letters for creditors is to copy and paste them info Microsoft Word or similar word processing programme. That will then enable you to add your own details and amend the letter to suit your own needs.
