"Hi all, new to the group, want to see if anyone is in the same situation as me or can offer advice. My son took out an Amigo with me as guaranteur, he was strugling to pay then lost his job. Of course they expected me to pay (which I expected) but they were so aggressive with threats of court after the first payment was only 1 week late. So I took out a second loan in my own name to pay off the amigo one. A few months later we had a successful claim against them as it was clear my son could never have afforded the loan even if he hadn't lost his job. They paid out what they said we were owed (original payments plus interest) and I used this to pay off the second load I took out. Now, months later they are saying they shouldn't have paid out so much and are demanding it all be paid back (just under 5k) and have put the debt back on my sons credit file ??"
