Question

No one owes me money, why should I make a pruzbul, what is the matter?

Answer

Every person needs to sign a pruzbul document, because if they have a bank account, the money in the bank is considered a loan, as explained above. Therefore, anyone who wishes to withdraw money from their bank account after the end of the Shemitah year must sign a pruzbul document.
