Definition: Vermenging is when a debt is cancelled because the
debtor and creditor become one entity. This happens in situations like a company merger, where the debt owed by one company is cancelled because it is now part of the new merged company.

proprietorship, the debt is cancelled because the person and the business are now one entity.
