If a person has acted as a guarantor for someone who owes money, legal actions can be taken against the guarantor in the same way as if they were the person who originally owed the money. This means that the guarantor can be held responsible for the debt and legal measures can be used to recover the owed amount from them, just as they would be against the original debtor.
