Introduction
A guarantee is a contract between a guarantor and the creditor to ensure the debtor's obligation to the creditor should the debtor fail to meet that obligation. Under guarantee, there is a contract between the creditor (such as a bank) and the guarantor. There is no contract between the debtor and the guarantor.

In other words, the lender, who is more objective and realistic, has identified high...
