gobbledonk Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hi KK, The paranoid in me says that physicians take an oath to pass on details of terminal illnesses, even non-contagious versions, to the relevant arm of Big Brother. I'm sure credit agencies have access to this data (they'd deny it in court, of course ...), and things like increased spending would throw up a red flag. My paranoia wasnt helped when I took a redundancy 2 years ago, and spent 3 months trying to find another job. A mere 4 weeks into my 'enforced layoff', I open the door to find my local bank manager - a grey little man who previously hadnt spoken to me, socially or otherwise. Despite the fact that I hadnt missed a single payment on my home, the bank's systems must have alerted him to fact that the money wasnt coming in via EFT from my (previous) employer. He wasnt prepared to come right out and say 'Lost your job ?', and I didnt volunteer anything, so it ended with him repeating 'Just give me a call if there is anything we can help you with'. Short of a cash donation, I couldnt think exactly what that 'something' might be, but he went back to increasing the fees on pensioners accounts and left me to own devices.

lembeh Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 bllody hell. Not again. For some reason my server at work really hangs when posting on here. Sigh. The original point was that most people do not run up huge debts because their remaining assets are needed for family (spouse/kids). Dying and leaving (deliberately) huge debts for your family to shoulder is beyond what most people consider responsible behaviour. Having said that in the case of, shall we say a single person with *no* family who could be held responsible, well thats a different case. -j- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how easily I could put my impending demise to the back of my mind as I jetted off to Asia for the 'holiday of a lifetime' (!), but it would have to beat sitting around at home waiting for the end :elephant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
