A woman who put her house in jeopardy over her son’s car loan has prompted a warning to make sure you know what you are getting into if you agree to guarantee a loan.
Financial Services Complaints Ltd (FSCL), an external dispute resolution provider for finance firms, dealt with a case in which a woman took out a $4000 loan from a finance company, secured by her car and house.
Her son also took a loan from the company.
