Are you a guarantor or chasing one? Is your money on the line?
A guarantee is where an individual agrees to be responsible for either their company’s – or another company’s – debt.
The guarantor is the person who makes a guarantee to becomes contractually obligated to pay the debt if the borrower defaults.
Guarantee disputes can be contentious and often frustrating to enforce.
A guarantee has the potential to be set aside on several grounds including:
- Misrepresentation
- Unconscionability
- Undue influence
- Failure to understand the essential elements of the guarantee.
Due to the complex and varied nature of guarantee disputes we recommend you consult a legal professional.
