sanemax Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 If youve been together for 11 years , she must have taken out the loan, or at least knew about it when you were together . She should have discussed it with you previously and not waiting until the banks want the property back . This also could be one last scam from her , she probably knows that you intend coming to live in the house in the future , she may not want you to go and live with her . She may be looking for one last big pay day, before she breaks all contact with you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you've got stones, it ain't. Almost every woman prone to going "loco" knows exactly what kind of man will allow her to get away with and respond to that type of behaviour in her favour. She also knows exactly what kind of man won't .............and she avoids him like the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upside Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 11 hours ago, Crossy said: Assuming it is actually a bank loan. If you're in Thailand it's easy enough to visit the lending bank and get the lowdown. Since it seems you're not here at present there will be associated paperwork and demand letters, ask to see them (emailed scans/photos). Obviously they will be in Thai, you can get them translated ask at a local (preferably Thai) restaurant. Banks do tend to take a long time to actually foreclose, but since we don't know how aged the debt actually is it's difficult to say what will happen next, or when. Of course there are other, more shady, lenders out there whose collection techniques are less subtle and whose interest rates are also unsubtle. And of course, the buffalo could be sick. A bank will disclose that personal information about 1 of their customers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I dont think that going into a bank and stating that you are merely "going with a lady" would be enough for them to give you any details about her . You would probably need a marriage certificate or something to show that you were in a relationship or something . Edit : Sorry misunderstood what you meant .

No bank is going to give you any information on another person's dealings Wether your married or not. Unless things are in joint names there is no way in hell they will tell you anything.

rijb Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 If the loan is legit, Thai banks will usually settle for an interest-only payment to avoid a foreclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, thanks for your input. yes sorry I only read your first post before sending this response, Im surprised its been 11 years before this kind of crap came up but Ive seen many irresponsible Thais do stuff like this.......................even a sane relative of my Wifes recently "gambled" a load of money on the stock market and lost it all, had to sell his car.......dont know why they do it, suspect desperation or the lure of " apparently easy money" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All . you are the one who is clouded not me . i never said all people are the same did I . i was saying lots get ripped off here and it is true, tell me would a thai lady sell the lot here if she had it , a home and go and live in the west , no way she would , then why do men like you do it , not me . yes I have had lots of thai woman good and bad but I have the balls to walk away from the bad ones . I would say you left your Barin's at the airport because that is why you are trying to put me down ,did I put you down no I did not , I am just saying it as I see it . but blokes like you who fall in love give them the lot cars , gold , homes , land I can go on and on about men like you . so next time if you get on her don't try and put me down like you did . for someone who has been here and had 2,000 post on tv in 11 months, I would say you are part of the keyboard warriors brigade.

Dont buy houses for pretend girlfriends in the future. Good luck Yes very true in what you say , but lots of man here do that buy homes for their wives or their gf . relationships in thailand are about your money not all but 99% are . So if you are trying to give him advice make sure you are here for you and not for your thai partner if you have one . and why should you have to buy a home for any thai woman .

Up to you. You could try to start the process with her - to get the house and land split and getting yourself a lease on the land, etc, etc -- as many guys have done. As soon as the gf sees that it's becoming a bit official, you will start to get the real story -- probably after a few false starts. The upside of this is you might actually get somewhere to live for your retirement. Be careful -- you'd not be the first retiree who had his retirement cut short in the dead of night,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to be a smarty pants, or sarcastic, or unemotional about your situation, but realistically, it's difficult to believe that any person (in this case, your girlfriend) could remain faithful for 9-11 months every year for 11 years. Could you ? Without knowing anything about how deep your financial commitment is to your girlfriend, it really does seem to me that perhaps now it's time to cut your losses, and move on. Save your 200,000 baht for when you retire here shortly. Start again, much the wiser second time around. There are endless guys here that have done the same thing. Me included.
