Hi i hope you can help

this is my first post i took out a business loan with hsbc in 2004 for £58K to purchase a company secured against a property i owned, i have never missed a payment i sold the property in 2006 and put the profit form the sale in to an account with the loan secured against it, in 2008 the business folded and i used the £25K from the sale of the property to pay off some of the loan i have carried on paying the loan but i am now in the position where i cant afford the repayments anymore, to date i have paid the bank over 65K but there is still about 20K left on the loan all of which is intrest.

    There would be no point in personal guarantees if you could just walk away.

    In short, no.

    Unless you declare bankrupt and get it wiped out.
