Worth checking that the guarantee agreement was valid. For a contract to be valid, either both parties must receive something from it (a "consideration") - which is hardly ever the case with a guaranteeship - or it must be executed as a deed (requiring, among other things, that the signature be witnessed). Sometimes that's overlooked, resulting in a guarantee that's not legally enforceable.0

She needs to get some advice - was she honest on the forms she had to sign?
I had a similar problem to the original poster for years. My sister was a debtor and her last address was mine several years prior, I knew if I allowed them entry they'd nab non-essential items I couldn't provide receipts for to sell at auction, The High Court enforcers on TV shows appear reasonable, the ones I dealt with weren't,0 -

The guarantor tends to receive the money into their own account, and is absolutely liable for it.0
