The Supreme Court dismissed the creditor's claim for reimbursement of inheritance office fees incurred after transferring the debt to a third party. The creditor argued that the transferor should bear these costs as part of the debt transfer, while the transferor contended that the fees were a separate obligation not covered by the transfer agreement. The court ruled that since the debt was transferred, the successor in the debt relationship assumed all associated costs, rendering the original creditor's claim for reimbursement inadmissible.
