Under common law, part payment of a debt on the due date does not constitute sufficient consideration for the creditor's promise to forgive the remainder of the debt, as the debtor is not providing anything beyond what they are already legally obligated to do. However, if the payment is made under different conditions (such as earlier, by a third party, at a different location, in a different currency, or accompanied by a promise to refrain from legal action), it may be considered sufficient consideration due to the variation from the original terms of the debt.
