How can one clear one's conscience of having taken the rights of others without their knowledge, when one is unable to confront them to return those rights?

Question:
The questioner says: I love you for the sake of Allah, and my question is that I have repented from all sins now, and praise be to Allah for the guidance. However, I have taken the rights of a person without his knowledge, and that was a long time ago when Satan was controlling my heart. Now I want to return them, but I cannot face the person, and it is difficult for me to give them to him. Is there another way?
Answer:
Send them to him through a person who will deliver them to him. If they reach him and he accepts them, your conscience is cleared. Or send them to him by mail or by any means. Or if he has a bank account and you know the account number, deposit them into his bank account. The important thing is that you deliver them to him by any means. Yes.
