Write a note to accompany a partial payment that states I am not accepting the whole debt. Details I will supply: collector or creditor [COLLECTOR_OR_CREDITOR], amount paid [AMOUNT_PAID], balance in dispute [BALANCE_IN_DISPUTE], reason [REASON]. The draft must state the amount enclosed, say that it is a part payment made without accepting the whole balance, and list the disputed items. It should ask for written acknowledgement and for the rest of the balance to be treated as disputed. Gather before drafting: the amount paid and the balance I dispute, my reasons, the collector's reference, and proof of payment. Realistic outcomes to ask for: written acknowledgement of the payment and the dispute. They will often answer: "We have applied the payment to the balance." Answer by restating that the rest is disputed. For the statement of my dispute to accompany a payment, question me one at a time, starting with the facts still blank, and draft the letter only when I say ready. Deliver the letter along with a cover note of roughly 60 words, followed by the steps to take for silence or refusal (reply, then dispute), plus a list of exhibits (proof of payment), then one delivery tip. Post it by tracked or certified mail with a return receipt, and store the receipt and a scan of the letter. Start by asking what is still missing and list the claims that rest on memory alone. Write the letter as me, a private individual, without posing as counsel, and use no made-up titles or licence numbers. Quote no law, case or time limit that I did not supply; lean only on [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN], and say plainly that the exact law must be verified with a qualified professional or my local consumer agency. Hold a level, factual and courteous tone, and free of abuse, and give the cut-off I enter in [DEADLINE]. Treat this as writing help and not legal advice, so do not assert my rights.
