When he signed as guarantor he took on the payments in the event of her running away, so there's probably little he can do but pay up.

The only use is probably as a warning to others not to do the same thing, but he can always try a lawyer.

As Fred said there is nothing one can do for him. He stood in as a guarantor for some one he barely knew well. Getting a lawyer as suggested is ok but all could be a long and tedious procedure. The information you shared is more of an advice to us than we have to give.
