المسؤولية عن سداد قرض صديق
قدمت صديقتي لزميلي في العمل، أدارت صديقتي مطعمًا من قبل وأخذت قرضًا شخصيًا من زميلي في العمل.
وقعت على ورقة بأن عليها قرضًا وستدفعه على أساس شهري. لسوء الحظ، حصلت لها مشكلة ولم تسدد.
يأتي إلي هذا الزميل الآن ويطالبني بسداد قرض صديقتي. هل أنا مسؤول عن دفع القرض؟
لم أوقع أي ورقة بأنني ضامن لها.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.
You have rightly emphasised on the illegality of your co-worker asking you to pay the dues that are to say that since you have not signed any contract/agreement that you guarantee the repayment, you cannot be liable for this loan.
Further, your co-worker has no ground in law to force you to make the payment, hence, please do not be pressurised by her tactics.
Further, granting such a loan on personal basis may not be enforceable in the court of law. So you should warn your co-worker about it if needed.
In summary, you are not liable to pay any money.
I trust you will find this helpful.

Dear Questioner,
With reference to your inquiry, kindly be informed that as per the given info, you shall not be held liable in any way whatsoever.
Only frustration leads your co-worker, and that's why he/she's trying to use some sneaky ways to let you pay, however, he/she'll never be able to force you to pay a single fils.
Wishing you all the best.
Kind regards,
Sherif M. ElKhatib
