My dear Mr./MissMrs./Ms. (Congressman/Congresswoman):
This is in reply to your letter of (date) concerning the alleged indebtedness of (grade/rate, name), United
States Navy.
Navy personnel are well indoctrinated in the Department of the Navys policy of expecting all members
of the naval service to discharge their acknowledged debts and just obligations. The Department desires to
cooperate and be of assistance to persons who are experiencing difficulty in collecting from naval personnel
acknowledged personal debts. There is no legal pay in matters of personal indebtedness. Cooperation is
restricted to bringing the matter of delinquency in indebtedness to the attention of the member concerned, with
the request that he or she communicate with the creditor regarding his or her intentions in the matter.
Department of Defense directives require that as a condition precedent to forwarding complaints of
indebtedness to a service member the enclosed forms must be completed and the Standards of Fairness
complied with. Your constituent should be advised to send the forms to the Commanding Officer (fall-in).
Sincerely yours,
Encl:
(1) Standards of Fairness and forms for a Statement of Full Disclosure and a Certificate of Compliance
