Forgiveness of a Debt

Question

If someone owes me an old debt and he doesn't remember it, and I have wholeheartedly forgiven him the debt, do I need to ask him about it, or is it enough that I have forgiven? Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello, 

Since you have forgiven him, he no longer has a debt.
