Frequently Asked Questions

Is a payment plan agreement legally binding in Kenya?
Yes. A signed payment plan agreement is enforceable under the Law of Contract Act (Cap. 23). It documents the total amount owed, the instalment amounts and dates, and the consequences of default (e.g. interest, acceleration of the full balance). Creditors can sue for breach if instalments are missed.
Can I charge interest on a payment plan in Kenya?
Yes. The interest rate must be agreed and stated in the agreement. Kenya does not cap interest rates for most commercial transactions, but unconscionable rates can be challenged in court. The agreement should state whether interest compounds and how late payment interest is calculated.
Is a payment plan agreement enforceable in common law countries?
Yes. Payment plan agreements are standard commercial documents enforceable across the UK, Australia, India, Nigeria, and other common law jurisdictions. Some consumer protection laws may impose additional requirements for payment plans with individuals.
