Termes et conditions du plan de paiement

These terms and conditions document the agreement between InDebted (“InDebted”, “us” we”) and You (“you”, your”) whereby you agree to enter into a payment plan to repay the monies owing to your creditor (“creditor”).

You owe the creditor the balance of your overdue amount (the “balance”). You agree to repay the balance by entering into the agreed payment plan that you specified on our online payment portal services, including any variation that you make to your agreed payments plan (“payment plan”) in accordance with these payment terms and conditions (“terms and conditions”).

You agree to make payment amounts specified and made by you as payment of the balance outstanding to the creditor until the balance is repaid in full.

Payments will be deducted from your bank account for the agreed amount via the method nominated by you.

By entering into this payment plan, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions as outlined below. We also agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. If there is any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and any other terms set out on our website, these terms and conditions will prevail with respect to your payment arrangement (except as expressly contemplated by these terms and conditions).
