INFORMATION STATEMENT

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GUARANTEES

This information tells you about some of the rights and obligations of yourself and the credit provider. It does not state the terms and conditions of your guarantee.

GUARANTEES

1 What is a guarantee?

A promise by you that the person who is getting credit under a credit (the “debtor”) will keep to all the terms and conditions. If that person does not do so, you promise to pay the credit provider all the money owing on the contract (and any reasonable enforcement expenses) as soon as the money is asked for, up to the limit, if any, stated in the guarantee. If you do not pay, then the credit provider can take enforcement action against you which may result in the forced sale of any property owned by you such as your house.

2 How do I know how much the debtor is borrowing and how the credit charges are worked out?

These details are on the copy of the credit contract or proposed credit contract that you should be given before you sign the guarantee.

3 What documents should I be given?

Before you sign the guarantee you should get:

• the document you are reading now; and

• a copy of the credit contract or proposed credit contract; and

• if you are an individual, any document we are required to give you under the Code of Banking Practice.

4 Can I get a statement of the amount that the debtor owes?

Yes. You can ask the credit provider at any time for a statement of the amount the debtor currently owes or any amounts credited or debited during a period you specify or any amounts which are overdue and when they became overdue or any amount payable and the date it became due.

The credit provider must give you the requested information:

• within 14 days if all the information requested related to a period 1 year or less before your request is given; or

• otherwise within 30 days.

This statement will be given to you in writing if you ask for it in writing but otherwise may be given orally.

You may be charged a fee for the statement.

You are not entitled to more than 1 written statement every 3 months.

5 How can I find out the payout figure?

15 BOQ.0001.0013.0703

You can write to the credit provider at any time and ask for a statement of the amount required to pay out the credit contract as at any date you specify.

You may be charged a fee for the statement.

6 What other information can I get?

If you are an individual, the above information will be supplied to you at least one day prior to you signing the guarantee, unless you have obtained independent legal advice after receiving the information.

If you are an individual, you can write to the credit provider and ask for a copy of:

• the guarantee; or

• any related credit contract or security contract; or

• the final letter of offer by the credit provider to the debtor; or

• any credit-related contract (such as insurance on mortgaged property) the credit provider has; or

• any financial accounts or statement of financial position given to the credit provider by the debtor for the purpose of the credit contract within 2 years prior to the day the credit provider provides the information to you; or

• the latest statement of account relating to the credit contract.

The credit provider may charge you a fee.

7 Can I withdraw from my guarantee?

You can withdraw from your guarantee at any time:

• before credit is provided under the relevant credit contract by written notice to the credit provider; or

• if the final credit contract is materially different from the proposed credit contract given to you before you signed the guarantee.

8 Can I limit my guarantee?

Yes. If you are an individual your liability under the guarantee must be limited to:

• or be in respect of, a specific amount plus other liabilities that are described in the guarantee; or

• the value of a specified security at the time of recovery.

9 If my guarantee says I have to give a mortgage, what does this mean?

A mortgage means that you give the credit provider certain rights over any property you mortgage. If you default under your guarantee, you can lose that property and you might still owe money to the credit provider.

10 Is there anything that I am not allowed to do with the property I have mortgaged?

16 BOQ.0001.0013.0704

The law says you cannot assign or dispose of the property unless you have the credit provider’s, or the court’s, permission. You must also look after the property. Read the mortgage document as well. It will usually have other terms and conditions about what you can or cannot do with the property.

11 Can the credit provider take or sell the mortgaged property?

Yes, if you have not carried out all of your obligations under your guarantee.

12 When can the credit provider enforce a judgment against me?

If you are an individual, when:

• the credit provider has judgment against the debtor and if the judgment amount has still not been met 30 days after the credit provider has asked the debtor in writing to pay it; or

• the credit provider has been unable to locate the debtor after making reasonable efforts to do so; or

• the debtor is insolvent.

If you are not an individual, the credit provider can enforce a judgment against you at any time.

13 If the debtor cannot be found and the credit provider intends to take legal action against me do I get any warning?

You may not.

14 Can the credit provider take action against me without first taking action against the debtor?

If you are an individual, the credit provider will not be able to enforce any judgement against you except in the circumstances described in the answer to question 12.

15 How much do I have to pay the credit provider if the debtor defaults?

You have to pay what the debtor owes the credit provider, subject to any limit provided in the guarantee, plus the credit provider’s reasonable expenses in making you honour your contract of guarantee.

GENERAL

16 What can I do if I am asked to pay out the credit contract and I cannot pay it all at once?

Talk to the credit provider and see if some arrangement can be made about paying.

17 Do I have any other rights and obligations?

Yes. The law does give you other rights and obligations. You should also READ YOUR GUARANTEE carefully.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS, OR YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION, GET LEGAL ADVICE.

PLEASE KEEP THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT, YOU MAY WANT SOME INFORMATION FROM IT AT A LATER DATE.
