If nobody has asked you for payment then you don't have a debt.
Pronouns (no self / not self)
“Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering. It is not found in a forest or on a hilltop, nor is it given by a teacher. Where you experience suffering, you can also find freedom from suffering. Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.”

There is a statute barred if it is a damage claim.
Perhaps it is now too late for him to make a claim on you.

Perhaps the debt here might means debts can cause litigation and or subject to punishment.
Minor debt to a friend may not be counted in this case.
