Common confusion points
Mistaking this form for a simple payment request; this is proof, not the payment itself.
Not clearly stating *who* owes the money (the debtor) and *to whom* it is owed (the creditor).
Failing to reference the specific Court Order number that triggers Section 15(6).
Assuming the amount certified is final when future interest or costs might still be added.
Using this form when the debt hasn't been formally assessed under Section 15(6) yet.
