Ruling: It is not possible for def to preclude pl from suing him for a few reasons. Firstly, pl paid def directly, not through pp, and def sent the document enabling pl to use the credit directly to pl. This suffices to make it clear that pl has a direct financial relationship with def, not just that there are separate def-pp and pl-pp relationships.
Furthermore, pp acted as a shaliach (agent) of pl. In that case, the actions that pp took are treated as if they were done by pl, so that, again, the financial relationship is primarily between pl and def. The fact that pp took responsibility for payment if pl would not pay does not change this outlook. It just means that in addition to being an agent, she was also an areiva (a guarantor), which does not make pl less connected to def.
If there were a need, there is another construct through which to justify pl’s demand to receive payment from def. There is a Talmudic concept called shibuda d’Rabbi Natan (see Ketubot 19a). According to this concept, if Levi owes money to Shimon and Shimon owes money to Reuven, then Reuven can choose to receive payment from Levi instead of Shimon. Therefore, even if the obligation goes through pp, pl would still be able to demand the money from def. The gemara (ibid. 110a) uses a parable to explain that it is unnecessary to have two different payments, if one payment from Levi to Reuven can suffice to settle all the debts.
Therefore, for multiple reasons, pl has full standing to sue def.

The question was asked, how can one make Aliyah with the LGBT parades?
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 7 - Five Accumulative Proofs of G-d
As a preparation for the Kuzari's classic proof of G-d from the mass-revelation at Sinai, we start here with 5 other directions to strengthen our belief which also contribute to what the Kuzari will present as well.
Ein Aya Muscle & Meaning: The Dual Nature of Gevurah (Physical Strength)
Is physical strength and fitness a necessity or an ideal? Although it if often totally overlooked among topics of Judaism, Rav Kook writes that it clearly is also a necessity to deter the many enemies of Israel, but even in Y'mot HaMashiach, in the Messianic era, to a certain extent, it's ideal continues even after our enemies will have been finished off.
Chukat "HOW ENTEBBE STOLE THE BICENTENNIAL
The Difference Between Historic & Eternal"
As we approach America's 250th birthday, it's worth remembering her 200th Bicentennial birthday, on Jul. 4th 1976, when Israel "stole the show" by shocking the world & miraculously saving 101 hostages in a foreign continent. As Pres. As Pres. Trump decides which countries get priority in his new Middle-East, it's worth reminding him of the difference between historic events and eternally historic ones. This obviously connects with this week's parsha, as well!

Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 5- "Proofs of G-d"
This may be the most important class of the entire book, where we finally get to the Jewish proof of the existence of G-d and truth of the Torah. We should follow His own direction where He tells us how to get to Him: through the Nation of Israel: Jewish history, Jewish prophets (and today, prophecies fulfilled), and national reward & punishment towards Am Yisrael.
Ein Aya One Humanity, One Creator, One Jerusalem
Rav Kook innovatively and beautifully explains this aggadeta where our sages say that after Jerusalem was destroyed her cinnamon fragrance is only found locked in a particular kingdom's treasury.
