Borrowing money

If you need borrow money, or someone wants you to be a guarantor or co-borrower, you could end up with legal problems over money.

If you don’t pay your debts on time, you may end up with a credit report that will make it hard to borrow money in the future. You may need to take action early to avoid being hassled about repaying money.

If you used a car, house, or other property to secure the loan or guarantee, the lender might be able to sell it to have the money repaid. 

This information will help you to understand more about the legal issues with borrowing money.

If you are impacted by the regional court closures between 1 June and 28 August and you don’t think you can attend court in person, it’s important to let the court know. 

Your lawyer or Legal Aid WA can help you do this.

Contact your local Legal Aid WA office or the Legal Aid WA Infoline for advice and help.
