    Check your credit file as a matter of urgency. Who knows what else they have applied for in your name.

    I would like to call Amigo to find out if money has been transferred without incriminating the relative.Is that possible?

    So either

    a) the loan didnt go through or

    b) it did go through and relative has pretended to be you on phone and maybe set up bank account in your name.

    If relative gave own bank account details would Amigo be able to verify that it didn't belong to guarantor?

    The money will go to the account specified. Banks dont give a crap about the name provided. Just the account and sort number. They could simply of put their account details but your name.

    Since you have received that letter it would suggest nothing has been done yet but check ASAP. If you just tell them that you didnt and its not been payed out then it probably wont go any further.

    The letter states the OP signed electronically on Christmas Day 2017. Given that's 4 months ago, I highly doubt OP would be receiving a letter from Amigo if the relative did not take the loan out. More likely scenario is the relative made payment for those 4 months and has now missed a payment which has triggered the letter to the guarantor (OP).

    OP - is the relative a parent? Is that why you're afraid of getting them in trouble?

    I posted the links to check your credit reports, you need to do this ASAP.
