When a debtor or creditor assigns his debt or credit to a third party, by the law and government regulations, he is required to send a formal notification to his obligors in order to inform them about the change in the situation and to advise them about the further instructions of payments and responsibilities and obligations towards the assignee. This notification letter is known as the notice of assignment to the obligor. Download our collection of free Assignment Forms to help you prepare your own Assignment Notice.
Who should send the Notice of Assignment to the Obligor?
When we talk about the responsibility of sending this notice to the obligors, this obligation lies on the shoulders of either the assigner or the assignee but in most cases, the assignee usually sends this notice. Although there are no boundaries or limitations about who should send this notice as assigners free themselves from their responsibilities after assignment, it is the responsibility of the assignee to inform the creditors or debtors about the change of the situation because if the obligors don’t know about the change and send the payments to the assignor, the assignee will have to go through the extra trouble of asking those payments back.
Key elements to include in the Notice of Assignment to Obligor:
- Name of the person who is assigning his assets or property to a third party i.e. assigner with complete address
- Name of the third party who has been assigned with property or assets i.e. assignee with complete address
- Date when the notice of assignment is being sent to the receivers
- Reasons for assigning the assets or property to the assignee as explained by the assigner (not necessary)
- Date from which the receivers are advised to redirect their queries and payments to the assignee
- Duration of assignment or expiration of the assignment (if applicable)
- Details of responsibilities, rights, and obligations of the assignee towards the receivers of the notice
