No one- the way the story can be interpreted either it was all a dream or he was really a spirit earthbound forever (died but did not pass over) or until his work was completed before he could go to one side or the other. There is a lot of symbolism in the story, the immortal man concept goes back eons.
Marley was to walk the earth in everlasting torment. He had been allowed to do one kind deed which even if he did still remained that he walk the earth for eternity. It was at his bequest that ghost were foretold. The outcome of the "deed" was to save Scrooges soul with no reward. The book created by Dickens hints only in stave one why Jacob returns and how. When creating the story Dickens wants to focus on the fact that good deeds toward mankind happen when alive as to regret post mortum is too late
