Personal guarantees

Often when borrowing money, the lender may seek a personal guarantee from a third party in the event of default by the borrower. These people are called guarantors. Guarantors agree to repay a debt another person incurred if that person fails to meet the terms of the guarantee. If the person goes bankrupt or cant pay their debts, the creditor will seek to recover what is owed from the guarantor. Professional advice should be sought as to the risks and implications of any default on the guarantor.
