it will be the thai tax departments business in just under two weeks.. Will it? So what, that's not anyone else's business but theirs, either, is it?

how many properties have you got ? This is your thread, a thinly-veiled slagging-off of Russians, what have my assets got to do with anything?

So do many Russians. What's the big deal?

Perhaps they earned it and are now spending it, or still earning in Russia, is there something wrong with that?

Why?

work permits? That's your business, is it?

...and fatuous.

Or, you could read the article... "a new life at WFFT’s Tiger Rescue Centre. Sadly, they will never be able to return to the wild, but we can offer them the next best thing: a safe, sanctuary home where they can roam forested land, socialise with other tigers, and even swim in the lake".

They don't, and there's no suggestion that they will. Maybe when they start providing blood test services it'll change and they'll deliver a nurse with the groceries for just B70 extra. 'Kin bargain.

No, it is not, they do not quote an actual rate of interest, they tell the borrower this is how much you have to repay each time, in baht.

Yes, they do. You use the asset as collateral. If you don't pay, they keep the car. No, banks do not operate that way, income is a requirement to qualify for a loan, they're not in the business of collecting used cars.

Which formal lender was that?

I'll defer to you as you've obviously seen the loan contract between the two parties.

If that information is correct, the OP should not get his hopes up.

Wouldn't the US Embassy be the place you should be asking that?

The link indicates that is how to get a passport in emergencies to travel outside the US, not a visa for foreigners to enter the US..

You should go out more often. Why? I see more than enough of it here without going looking for it.

true enough Lou, but where I come from, and where I currently live now, there is always some equity in a vehicle ( one way or the other) , helps a bit if its insured though, which is something I hadn't considered at the time I commented And there needs to be enough income to service a legitimate loan. Banks want their money back, plus interest, not a potentially old, shagged pickup.

Some people have no idea how legitimate lending works, banks don't just hand out cash in exchange for blue books, they need to see their money being paid back, they're not used car dealers.

What?

Loan shark debt repayments don't usually work like that!

Could he, how could you know that? Did he have a verifiable income - banks don't lend if there isn't any.

No, it was the lender who was killed...unless you're re-writing the OP.

They could even have sold it , or traded down but that would involve loss of face You're assuming that there was equity in the pickup.

Why do you think that she's going to jail?
