Oh god no. That’s so weird!

I think what you have there is a cheeky fucker - what are the odds that she needed a loan and looked around for someone who finds it hard to say no?

IWannaSeeHowItEnds · 23/01/2019 15:58

You'd be mad to do it. You barely know her and only a cheeky fucker would even think about asking a virtual stranger to take such a huge financial risk for them.
You've dodged a bullet.

No! never.

No

NO way would I be guarantor to someone I know very little about.

You did the right thing not agreeing to it. Why ask in the first place !!!

Hell no OP, please don't feel bad, you've done the right thing.
If she was to default on payments, you would be responsible for paying.

Why do you feel bad, you don't really know her. I would question why she is asking you, have all her family and long tern friends said no?

LutherLover · 23/01/2019 15:57

Helllllll no

TheQueef · 23/01/2019 15:56

No obviously.

Why would you feel bad? You barely know her.
