cosolidated business loan legit ?

some time ago my limited company had 2 loans with the same bank.
as we had hit a sticky patch, bank suggested we combine both loans into 1 over a new longer term.
i did not object until now, some years on and with the company long gone.
i have been paying the loan up to now as i beleived they held a guarantee.
but finances are somewhat different today and i need to question the whole loan set up if i can
after an SAR to the bank, i discovered that they had filed the loan under a personal loan.
but i was trading as a limited company when loan was taken out.
apparently i had signed the agreement: -
mr X Xxxxxxxx
T/A xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Limited
but,
the application form they used appears to be for business use only.
do i have any redress against the bank ?
would the CCA hold up in court ?
i will try to post as an attachment in next post.

  • Please confirm one thing - did they lend to the Limited company or to you personally who then paid in the money to repay the company's debt?
  • Since you have not responded I can only assume that they lent money to you in a personal capacity so it would appear that the loan agreement is correctly drawn up.

    You bothered to reply but answered nothing.
    My advice find another forum to waste your time with.

    i therefore thought that the consolidated loan would be a company loan also.
    consolidation action was instigated by the bank

    Why it is not compulsory - in fact if they thought the company was going down the pan and held a personal guarantee from you then it is a nifty piece of work by the bank!
    Perfectly legal.

    See you about Tuesday or Wednesday with another waste of time reply?
