A contract is a formal agreement to fulfill an obligation, such as an unpaid balance. A payment schedule defines how much is paid, the payment amount, and when the payment is due, also known as the payment frequency.
Use the Contract Payment Schedule to print a contract payment schedule that includes the amount owed, payment amounts, payment due dates, and any additional instructions from the court to the defendant. Additional instructions may include court hours, contact information, penalties for late payments, cases included in the contract, and so on.
