English term

whether present, future, actual or contingent

English Law/Patents Law (general)
"indebtedness" includes any obligation (whether incurred as principal or as surety) for the payment or repayment of money, whether pressent, future, actual or contingent.

Does the "present, future, actual, contingent" refer to the obligation of the payment/repayment?

Yes, the obligation to repay is absolute, in any, and all circumstances.


The statement leaves no circumstance in which the obligation is to be waived, or not repaid.

Thank you, orientalhorizon.
agree Ken Cox : IMO the intention here is to explicitly include all categories of indebteness so nobody (or their lawyer) can claim exemption.
