âI couldnât even get a car loan in 1962,â recalls Wendy McCarthy, AO. âI wanted a Mini Minor to drive to my job as a teacher and I remember the bank manager, he said: âYour father will need to be guarantor.â
âI said: âWell, my fatherâs dead.â He said: âHave you got a brother? Maybe he could do it?â I said: âYes, heâs 12â.â
Wendy McCarthy remembers being unable to get a car loan because she lacked a male guarantor.
