Composition with Creditors is an agreement between Contractors-Debtor and Subcontractors-Creditors to settle a debt. This type of agreement is often used in cases where the debtor is unable to pay off the full amount owed to the creditor and instead offers an alternative payment agreement. The creditor agrees to accept a lower amount than what is owed in exchange for a full and final settlement of the debt. This type of agreement is also known as a "debt composition". There are two types of Composition with Creditors agreements: voluntary and involuntary. In a voluntary agreement, both parties agree to the terms of the agreement. In an involuntary agreement, the creditor agrees to the terms without the consent of the debtor.
