Creditor
A creditor is a party who claims that a second party owes the first party some properties or services. The first party, in common, has provided some property or service to the second party under the assumption that the second party will return an equal property or service. The first party is regularly called a lender, and the second party is frequently called a debtor or borrower.
In other words, your creditors are people to whom you owe money. The term creditor is commonly used in the financial world, particularly in orientation to short term loans, long term bonds, and mortgages. The term creditor derived from the concept of credit. In modern America, credit refers to a rating which indicates the ability of a borrower and likelihood to pay back his or her loan. In earlier times, credit also referred to reputation or trustworthiness.
