Practice question
A guarantor settles a P200,000 debt with the creditor by paying P140,000. Under Article 2067, may the guarantor demand the original P200,000 from the debtor solely through the settlement payment?
- Yes, every compromise creates a P60,000 personal profit
- No, the guarantor cannot demand more than actually paid under that compromise
- Yes, because the creditor once claimed that amount
- No, because payment can never create reimbursement rights
- Yes, if the guarantor conceals the settlement
