Something owed to someone else is often referred to as a debt or obligation. This can take various forms, such as money, services, or a promise to fulfill a commitment. It signifies a responsibility to repay or meet an expectation set by another party. Fulfilling these obligations is important for maintaining trust and integrity in relationships.
The word for something owed to someone else is "debt." Debt refers to an obligation to pay money or provide services to another party, typically as a result of borrowing or an agreement. It can also encompass moral or social obligations.
A farmer who works on someone else's land in exchange for a share of the crop is called a "sharecropper." Sharecropping is a system often associated with the post-Civil War South in the United States, where landowners provide land, tools, and seeds, while the sharecropper contributes labor and receives a portion of the harvest as compensation. This arrangement can sometimes lead to cycles of debt and economic dependency for the sharecropper.

A second party collection agency is an agency trying to collect a debt that is owed to someone else. If for example, you owe on a store credit card from ABC store, they may turn the debt over to another agency that has nothing to do with them. This is a second party collection agency.
When you make a promise to someone, it is equivalent to you taking a debt from that person. And the debt is paid back, only when the promise is fulfilled. So think before making a promise. The quote itself is from Robert W. Service's poem, "The Cremation of Sam McGee." If perchance you have never read that poem, you must find it (it's out there on the Internet) and read it. Read it aloud, to your friends, at night.

The next time the collection agency calls you, you need to let them know they are calling the wrong person. You should also ask for the manager.
The debt is the 21 year olds. Unless someone else in that house co-signed for the debt. Then they are also liable for the debt. It is illegal for them to ask you for money for someone elses debt even if they live in the same house as you. It is also illegal for them to say this is Credit Care and we are calling John Smith about his debt. Refer to the www.FTC.com website that is the Federal Trade Commission. You can file a claim against them. Also I would check out Dave Ramsey. His website is www.daveramsey.com he has these types of questions pop up all the time on his national radio show. You could also call him when hes on the air and ask him. I deal with bogas credit collection people with a sports air horn. I will warn them once. If they call back they get the air horn.
With a debenture, a company can hold a debt with another. A debenture is a loan agreement where there is no collateral or assets involved. It is based on the promise and credit history of the company that it will be paid back.
A pledge is a promise or a agreement to do something. It also can be a payment of debt.
I'm sure they can tell the credit-card company anything they like. Whether it makes a difference is another question. The card-holder has the contract with the credit-card company. There is no way they could legally go after someone else for payment of the debt, unless they were also a signatory to the account. That just seems common sense to me. Sorry I am not a lawyer though.
