The PDF you download is in Italian — that is the language it has to be filed in, so it is not translated. Everything on this page is here to tell you what it says.
For a creditor and a debtor in Italy who agree to settle a debt in instalments: a private loan, a fee, rent arrears. The contract, in Italian under Italian law, acknowledges the amount owed and where it comes from (article 1988 of the Italian Civil Code), sets the number and amount of the instalments, any interest rate, the creditor's undertaking not to act while the plan is kept and what follows missed instalments. Both sign two copies. It is not for debts to the Agenzia delle Entrate-Riscossione.

Common questions
- What is the difference in Italy between a repayment plan and an acknowledgement of debt?
- An acknowledgement of debt is signed by the debtor alone: it recognises the sum and promises to pay it (article 1988 of the Italian Civil Code). A repayment plan is a contract signed by both: besides the acknowledgement, the creditor accepts the instalments and undertakes not to act while they are paid, and the parties set what happens if an instalment is missed. Where the creditor agrees to instalments, the plan also protects the debtor better.
- What happens in Italy if the debtor misses an instalment of the plan?
- The plan provides two steps: after fifteen days' delay the creditor sends a written notice; if the debtor does not pay within a further fifteen days of receiving it, the benefit of the instalments is lost and the creditor can demand the whole balance at once, with default interest at the legal rate (1.60% a year from 1 January 2026) or at the higher agreed rate. The signed plan, with its acknowledgement of the debt, is written proof of the claim.
- Can this plan be used to pay a debt to Italy's Agenzia delle Entrate-Riscossione in instalments?
- No. Instalments on tax bills are requested from the Agenzia delle Entrate-Riscossione, online or with its free form: for requests made in 2025 and 2026, up to 84 monthly instalments are granted on a simple statement of temporary difficulty, for debts up to €120,000. Banks and finance companies also use their own repayment agreements. This plan is for debts between private persons or with small businesses.

Related documents
- Revocation of a SEPA direct debit, formerly RID (Italy)
Many banks let you revoke a direct debit free of charge in online banking or at the branch. This document, in Italian under Italian law, is for doing it in writing, with proof: it holds two letters to send on the same day, one to the creditor revoking the SEPA mandate and one to your bank asking it to stop executing that creditor's debits (legislative decree no. 11/2010). Revocation does not cancel sums owed: the letter asks how to pay them another way.
- Saldo e stralcio settlement offer to a creditor (Italy)
For anyone in Italy with a debt to a private person, a business, a finance company or a debt-collection agency who wants to propose closing it by paying a smaller sum, at once or in instalments. The letter, in Italian under Italian law, states the debt claimed, the amount offered, how it will be paid and how long the offer stands, and says payment will follow only written acceptance. It is not for tax bills from the Agenzia delle Entrate-Riscossione. Send it by registered post or by PEC.
- Written complaint to a bank (Italy)
A complaint to the bank costs nothing, and many banks have an online form or a PEC address for their complaints office. This letter, in Italian under Italian law, is for writing it yourself: it describes the problem – an undue charge, an unexpected cost, a service not provided – states what you ask for and, if needed, copies of documents (article 119(4) of the Italian Consolidated Banking Act). It is the step that opens a claim to the Arbitro Bancario Finanziario, filed online for a €20 fee. Send it by registered post or by PEC.
- Settlement agreement between private parties (Italy)
For ending a dispute in Italy between private persons or with a business – a contested debt, damage, poor work – by mutual concessions, including a settlement for less than the full debt (saldo e stralcio). The contract, in Italian under Italian law, describes the dispute, what each party concedes, any sum and how it is paid, and the waiver of every other claim on that dispute (articles 1965 ff. of the Italian Civil Code). It is not for employment disputes. Both parties sign two copies.
- Two-year limitation defence on an electricity, gas or water bill (Italy)
For a household, micro-business or professional customer in Italy who receives an electricity, gas or water bill for consumption more than two years old, often a balancing bill. Many suppliers have a free form for raising limitation; this letter, in Italian under Italian law, does the same in writing: it identifies the bill and the amount, raises the two-year limitation (law no. 205/2017), asks for a corrected bill and announces payment of the part not time-barred. Send it by registered post or by PEC.
- Receipt in full and final settlement – quietanza liberatoria (Italy)
For a creditor in Italy who receives payment of a debt – a loan repaid, a saldo e stralcio, the last instalment of a plan – and must issue a receipt, as article 1199 of the Italian Civil Code requires. The document, in Italian under Italian law, names the parties with their codice fiscale and states the amount, date and method of payment, the original debt and whether payment is in full or on account. The creditor signs it. Above €77.47 a €2 revenue stamp (marca da bollo), bought at a tobacconist's, must be affixed.
