A is indebted to ABC Corporation in the amount of ₱100M. Despite efforts to collect from A, the latter failed to pay due to business reverses as he has no more assets. In order to maintain a more accurate inventory of the worth of its current assets, ABC Corp. was forced to write-off A's obligation. One (1) year later, A won the lotto draw in the US in the amount of $100M. Learning of the good luck of A, it demanded for payment, but A refused to pay contending that his obligation was extinguished when it was written-off. Is A correct?
A) A is correct because write-off is a mode of extinguishing an obligation.
B) A is correct because write-off is a compromise of liability.
C) A is correct because write-off is a condonation of an obligation.
D) A is not correct because in making the write-off, only the creditor takes action by removing the uncollectible account from its books even without the approval or participation of the debtor, hence, there is no extinguishment of the obligation.
