Question
I owe money to a person, and it is unclear to me whether he bothered to make a Prozbul. I told him that I do not owe him because he did not make a Prozbul, and he claims he did. I asked where the document is, and he says he made it but lost it. Am I obligated to pay?
Answer
Hello and blessings. You are obligated to pay because the lender is trusted when he says he had a Prozbul and lost it.
