Question
Hello, I have a debt to the electric company. Am I required to pay the debt before Rosh Hashanah to prevent the company from claiming the debt after Rosh Hashanah, or is it irrelevant because it is a debt that is not annulled?
Answer
Debts to a telephone company or an electric company are considered as 'recorded as a loan' and the debt is annulled. Therefore, if you received a notice to pay the debt before Rosh Hashanah, you should ensure to pay the debt by then.
