Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal could succeed on the alleged modification of the loan contract and the negative declaratory action
Decisione estratta
The borrowers failed to prove a contractual modification; the loan remained governed by the original contract and the creditor could denounce it for arrears.
Motivazione estratta
The asserted agreement from the May 31, 2000 letter was not established. Under the ordinary burden of proof, the borrowers had to prove the debt existed at least in part, even though the action was negative declaratory.
