Bounce-Back Loan Disputes

Expert legal defence for directors.

Directors and former directors of limited companies are increasingly finding themselves in disputes over unpaid bounce-back loans. Complex Law has the experience and expertise you need to navigate these disputes successfully.

Bounce-Back Loan Disputes

Issues with legal enforceability

Some directors have raised concerns about whether they were presented with clear and fair lending terms when obtaining these loans under immense financial pressure during the pandemic. There may be ambiguities in the agreements that our experienced team can identify and potentially challenge in court — which in some circumstances may provide grounds for negotiating more favourable repayment terms or contesting the entire loan.

Concerns for former company directors

Where bounce-back loans are disputed, lenders may attempt to trace the debt back to former directors who were in position when the loans were taken out, even years later. This can be highly disruptive for individuals who believed they had left all company matters behind on resigning from their position. Navigating these disputes requires a careful reconstruction of events, review of relevant documentation, and a strong legal strategy to resolve or defend against any claims of improper conduct.

The risks facing company directors

One significant issue directors face with bounce-back loans is the potential for personal liability. These loans were offered with relaxed eligibility criteria and fewer credit checks compared to traditional business loans. If the company struggles to repay these loans, lenders may pursue directors personally due to the personal guarantees typically required for bounce-back loans. Directors could find their personal assets at risk if the company becomes insolvent without a viable repayment plan.
