Local Rat Catcher Threatens to Jump Over Car Loan Debt
Story by Albert Jack



PATTAYA: -- At 11pm on May 26 the police were called to a pedestrian bridge over Sukhumvit Road, close to Pattaya Klang, after reports that a woman was threatening to jump into the road.

Forty-five year old Amara Chaicharoen was found sitting on the handrail of the bridge and in a hysterical state.

Police officers attempted to calm the woman but when it became obvious their efforts had failed, and that she was serious in her intentions, officers distracted the lady while others charged and restrained her.

These credit agencies are relentless in their hounding people who are late to pay. They should just take the car back and pursue her through the courts. Even a day late paying a credit card

What is a rat catcher, never heard that one before? A rat catcher's job is paying her enough to get a credit card with enough credit to buy a car?

She should have gone after the biggest rat, her cousin.

It sounds like she guaranteed (or maybe took out a loan in her name) for a loan to buy a car by a "cousin." The payments were not made and the creditors came to her for payment. Still doesn't explain how a "rat catcher" was deemed credit worthy enough for either the loan itself or signing as a guarantor.

Why comment without reading the full report?

"What is a rat catcher...?"

More than likely someone whose job it is to catch rats.

"A rat catcher's job is paying her enough to get a credit card with enough credit to buy a car?"

Considering that you don't even know what a rat catcher is that's a very odd question to ask but, 'no' is the answer to that question. Read the report and all will be revealed.

You dont understand Thailand obviously

Hey FourAces ..... "You're not in Kansas anymore!"

[bheard]

She knows how to catch rats - go catch the one with the label 'cousin' on it.

Did she actually agree to the contract having her name on it? Dopey if she did . . .

[OMGImInPattaya]

Hey FourAces ..... "You're not in Kansas anymore!"

Probably is...a "keyboard" expatriate. ?
