Hi and welcome,

You might find this difficult as, if the other person defaults, then you are liable for the loan.

Have a word with one or two companies - Vincent Bond (details under the ask experts a question link on the left hand side of the page) can be contacted for some free advice.

I agree that it is a good idea to have a chat with several companies.

As for the guarantee you have given, this can be included in your IVA as a contingency debt. This means that your IP will not include it, as such, from the start, but will be aware of the possibility of you becoming liable for the loan if the debtor defaults during your IVA.

My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

This debt would have to be included even if it is being paid. This offers you protection should the other person not pay and you will not be able to stand guarantee again for a while.

Yes it will be included in your IVA as a contingent liability.
