I have a LLC that has a line of credit with a bank that my wife and I personally guaranteed. While we have the ability to pay it off over time, the bank just called our note and now wants me to make the $175K payment in four months. I cannot do that. In 36 months, I can but not in four.
My business is a service consulting business with no real assets. I can easily restart it. If I file Chapter 7 on the business will the Line of Credit be discharged or will I still owe it personally? - Is this your question? Add additional information Answers (1)

Your LLC and you, personally are two different entities.
If you filed a bankruptcy for the LLC, that would have nothing at all to do with the fact that you signed a personal guarantee. See a business lawyer with bankruptcy experience. The better course of action would be to look at whether you are eligible for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If so, then consider a personal bankruptcy to discharge the personal debt and a winding down of the LLC. This answer is provided for informational purposes only.
