The actual account holder is the person who is responsible for the debt. If a married couple reside in a community property state, they are usually equally responsible for debts, including credit card accounts.

Is a surety and guarantor the same thing?

A surety and a guarantor are similar but not identical concepts in finance and law. Both involve a third party agreeing to take on the obligation of a borrower if they default, but a surety is typically more directly involved in the transaction and may be liable as soon as the principal defaults. A guarantor, on the other hand, usually only becomes liable after the principal has failed to fulfill their obligations. Thus, while both provide security for a loan or obligation, their roles and responsibilities can differ.

Does the guarantor on a loan get a ccj if the debtor gets summoned to county court?

When debt issues get to the court as civil actions, the lender almost always includes everyone listed on the loan (including the guarantor) as a defendant in the case. If the lender wins, the judge will usually give the debtor some chance to pay the debt as a result of the judgment. If either (1) the judge does not believe that the debtor can pay or (2) the debtor does not pay after being guided to do so, then the guarantor will become liable for the debt and have a judgment lodged against them. The best way to avoid such action as a guarantor is to not let the debtor get to court in the first place and work with the lender to mitigate the potential credit damage to all parties to the loan.
