§ 2848 Surety Right Of Contribution

• •If you pay someone else's debt (like a friend's loan), you can ask them to pay you back.
• •You can also ask other people who promised to pay the same debt to help cover the cost.
• •It doesn't matter who promised to pay first—everyone who agreed to pay must chip in.

You and two friends promise to pay back your neighbor's $300 loan if they can't. Your neighbor can't pay, so you cover the $300.

You can ask your neighbor to pay you back the $300. You can also ask your two friends to each give you $100 to help cover the cost.
