Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 1997 letters terminated the credit agreement and extinguished the suretyship.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The letters concerned the pledged mortgage note and the overdraft account separately; they did not show termination of the credit agreement itself.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court distinguished the mortgage-note claim from the credit-debt claim and found the appellant's interpretation unsupported. A notice sent to the surety personally could not terminate the company’s credit agreement.
