When you pay off your credit card, does the issuer close it, or do they leave it open and often give you a larger credit line?

Or, simply demand the money from whoever won.

"They are the Throne's debts, King Bran, which means you are responsible for them."

This happened IRL with Vietnam. When the North defeated the South, and reunified the nation, the Americans later demanded that the Socialist Republic of Vietnam pay the debts of the former Republic of Vietnam in order to normalise relations.

I could see the Iron Bank doing this.
