Dear _________:
This letter is to follow-up on the telephone conversation we had on [date] wherein I discussed the possibility of lowering my monthly payment so that each of my unsecured creditors receives a fair share of the amount I have available to pay all of my unsecured creditors each month.
After working out a budget with my spouse and cutting back as much as we possibly can on unnecessary expenses, we have determined that we have $__________ each month to pay all of our unsecured creditors after paying our collateralized debt. A complete list of our unsecured creditors is as follows:
Creditor Total Amount Due Average Monthly PaymentX Credit Card$[total amount due]$[avg. monthly payment]Y Credit Card$[total amount due]$[avg. monthly payment]Z Credit Card$[total amount due]$[avg. monthly payment]Unfortunately, the amount we have available each month, $________, is not enough to meet even our current minimum monthly payments. Therefore, I propose giving each of the unsecured creditors listed above a proportional share of the amount we have available. I have determined each creditors share as follows:
Creditor Percentage of Total Debt Proposed Monthly PaymentX Credit CardTotal debt owed X/Total Debt$[amt available x ___%]Y Credit CardTotal debt owed Y/Total Debt $[amt available x ___%]Z Credit CardTotal debt owed Z/Total Debt$[amt available x ___%]Please advise me whether or not the plan I have set forth in this letter is agreeable to you. I want to do everything I can to avoid filing bankruptcy and am hoping I can work out some sort of alternate payment plan with my creditors. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Your name
