creditors
Those owed money
Creditors are people or institutions owed money.
Banks, credit card companies, and landlords are common creditors.
In bankruptcy proceedings, creditors line up to claim whatever assets remain: The estate was divided among creditors.
The opposite is debtor—the one who owes.
