Legal analysis: So if the borrower doesn't pay back the money, you have to bear the responsibility of paying back the money. However, since it has been 10 years, please find out when your friend's repayment period is. If the repayment period exceeds two years, you can claim that the limitation of action has expired and refuse to pay back the money. If there is an agreement on the guarantee period, you can claim that the guarantee period has expired and refuse to pay back the money. If there is no guarantee period, there is only a six-month guarantee period, after which you can refuse to pay back the money. So you can ask the court to lift the freeze through the above litigation.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
