From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Debtor       Various regulations as to the relation between debtor and       creditor are laid down in the Scriptures.                (1.) The debtor was to deliver up as a pledge to the creditor       what he could most easily dispense with (Deut. 24:10, 11).                (2.) A mill, or millstone, or upper garment, when given as a       pledge, could not be kept over night (Ex. 22:26, 27).                (3.) A debt could not be exacted during the Sabbatic year       (Deut. 15:1-15).                For other laws bearing on this relation see Lev. 25:14, 32,       39; Matt. 18:25, 34.                (4.) A surety was liable in the same way as the original       debtor (Prov. 11:15; 17:18).
