Sorry Grannie, to be another one of the noes.......I cannot see that this in in your interests at all......if anything went wrong it would be all down to you......and it is wrong of her to ask you this, as she must know you have being going through some hard stuff recently.....

Time to say no to this one Grannie......x

Grannie, if your not sure how to tell her, then try saying that your own credit rating isnt that good either!
And please head what everyone else has advised you , also the legal side, regarding sub letting, thats a deffinate NO NO! She is in fact asking you to break the law!!

Remember also that a guarantor is personally liable for any debt and can be sued in court for non-payment, so it is far more reaching than just doing a friend a favour.

Good luck, and I would stick by your decision, if I were you.

Hope you def say no. But having said that, I took my daughters car on my name, but she had already been paying for the car she had. She has never been refused credit since she was 18, and then she was told it was because she hadn't built up a credit rating.

I have no fear she won't pay it, cos it's registered in her name, and I can change the payments into her name at any time. Her car is her pride and joy, so she knows if she don't pay for it, she won't have it.

Wouldn't do it for any other family member or friends family though.
