If you can't or won't pay the 11k,your credit ratings will be affected.
How much do you owe revenue,and is this still unpaid?

Your business availed of a loan. As the company likely had limited liability, you and your wife said you would cover the loan if the company failed. The bank are calling in on that guarantee that you gave.

The bank won't be able to get blood from a stone and you are better engaging with them rather than ignoring them. It won't go away all by itself. If you talk to your bank, you will be able to agree to some terms of repayment/ write off
