My friend is suing me for writing a bad check as a guarantee for another friend's loan. The loan amount is $31,000, and the borrower has paid around $25,000 since 2008, mostly in interest. The borrower recently died, and the lender is now seeking the full $31,000 from me. I have been making monthly payments of $200 to $300, but the lender claims these payments are only for interest. What should I do?
