redliche Schulden / Forderungen Dritter


Explanation:
...but only if we're going with the suggestions made above.

Acutally "just debts" aren't just any old debts, but an historical term, rather difficult to understand - and even more difficult to properly translate. Is a mortgage payment a "just debt" (for a brief history of this terms construction, see http://www1.va.gov/ogc/docs/PRC05-93.DOC)?
