    And that's precisely why the lender wanted you to issue a personal guarantee for the business-to-business contract. In case the business ceased to exist.

    The business no longer exists - so you personally now owe the money, under the terms of the guarantee that you signed promising to honour the business's debt.

    Do you have a regulated or unregulated PCP? 

    Is it a Hire Purchase or Conditional Sale based PCP or is it a Fixed Sum/Term Loan based PCP agreement.

    An unregulated loan of any type won't have VT rights. 

    A Fixed Sum/Term Loan whether regulated or unregulated won't have VT rights.

    P.S. it's better for you to start a new thread for your query rather than tag on to an existing one.
