Advice on Dealing with Leasing Companies following Business Failure.
A personal guarantee (PG) may crystallize when a company ceases to trade. The PG often means it will make one liable for one's own or a third party's debts or obligations. A personal guarantee signifies that the lender (obligee) can lay claim to the guarantor's assets in case of the borrower (obligor) default.
A PG is the equivalent of a signed blank cheque without a date. The obligee is generally not required to seek repayment first from the obligor's assets before going after guarantor's assets. The lender's actions are usually based on whose assets are easier to take control of and sell. Once signed, a personal guarantee can only be cancelled by the obligee.
If a PG can not be paid back in a agreeable manner then the person should seek advice on bankruptcy or an even an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) may be sensible.
