Deber del acreedor judicial de registrar la satisfacción de la deuda

Explicación Simple

Si debes dinero y pagas, el que te prestó debe confirmar que ya no le debes nada. Si no lo hace después de un tiempo, puede tener que pagarte un extra como multa.

Es como cuando le prestas a un amigo un libro y, una vez que te lo devuelve, él debe poner una nota en su lista de libros prestados que diga 'devuelto'. Si no lo hace, podrías pedirle que te compre una bebida como compensación.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan le debe $1,000 a Pedro. Juan paga su deuda, pero Pedro no registra que ya no le debe nada. Después de 90 días, Juan puede pedirle a Pedro que lo haga y, si Pedro no lo hace, Juan puede recibir un pago extra de $250 como penalización.

Penalidades

Si el acreedor no registra la satisfacción después de 90 días, puede enfrentar una multa de hasta $2,500.
