Subject: Pay for Credit Debt when Possible
Dear Customer!
Our Lending Division has looked into your payment record for last year and studied out that payments had not been made for last 3 months. We are now working on the issue concerning ways to help you with fulfilling liabilities and settling these arrears. At the same time, we realize you may have had solid reasons for such payment delay. That is exactly why we are contacting you now.
Nevertheless, if you are not resuming your debt settlement, we will have to engage our enforcement units in commencing the law-suit case against you. This is the compulsory measure, so unfortunately, we may not help you. Please make at least the very first payment at the earliest possible time. Alternatively, charges may apply, and then the trial may be run. We have made the full report of your situation. It comprises the payment history, the overall debt amount effective today, and further recommendations on arranging the issue.
Please open and follow instructions as soon as possible.
