Who is guarantor?
A guarantor is a person who, under a guarantee agreement, undertakes to be responsible before the creditor of another person for the full or partial fulfillment of that person’s obligations.
Becoming a guarantor has serious financial and legal consequences.
Acting as a guarantor is not simply helping a friend, colleague, neighbor, or relative, but taking on significant financial and legal responsibility.
If the borrower fails to repay the loan:
the financial credit institution may require the guarantor to repay the loan, interest, penalties, and other expenses, which may affect the guarantor’s financial situation;
even if the guarantor did not receive the money, they may still be involved in a court case as a defendant, and being a guarantor may lead to negative legal and psychological consequences.
Why do financial credit institutions require a guarantor?
When issuing a loan, a financial credit institution may require a guarantor from the client.
This means that the borrower must present a person who, under the guarantee agreement, undertakes to fully or partially repay the loan if the borrower fails to fulfill their repayment obligations.
Important recommendations:
Before becoming a guarantor, carefully consider the borrower’s repayment capacity, financial and social status, as well as their movable and immovable assets. Make sure that the borrower has a stable income and a good credit history, has no debts to other financial credit institutions, and that their financial and social situation allows them to repay the loan within the established deadlines.
Also remember that your status as a guarantor will be recorded in the databases of financial credit institutions and the Credit History Bureau as your obligation. This may have either a positive or negative impact on your credit history and may play a key role when you apply for your own loan in the future.
