read this, such a sad story, Paul Tunnah mentioned is one of my customers at work, putting another person first, he is being commended by Bolton council, sadly he risked himself for nothing

That is sad, but so good of the man who tried to save him. There are some good people around.

There was a man who ran a sewing machine repair shop not too far from us had a letter from the VAT people, and he either read the amount that he owed wrong or the VAT people had made a mistake in the printing.

He thought it was a lot more than the proper amount of £2000 and committed suicide because he couldn't cope with the worry of not being able to pay it.

.It's so sad when things get to this point for some people, isn't it?

deputy coroner Alan Walsh declared an open verdict, saying he could not see how this would drive him to take his own life.

I can - being in debt for many hard working honest people, even for a small sum like £1,600, can be a very worrying thing - probably even more so when you have a young family. I fear we shall hear more of this kind of thing, mainly due to easy 'payday' loan companies and horrific interest rates.

very sad for his family who will be left behind always wondering if they could have done something different and stopped him doing that

also very sad for your friend who will have to live with the fact that he couldnt save him

 

as for the guy that did it,i feel for him but he is out of it now and has left the mess for someone else to deal with.
