    ahhhh you are Asian, hmmmmm methinks you need to speak to an elder in the community to exert some influence on them or tell your brother that if he doesn't give you the money you will tell your parents he likes hanging out with loose women taking drugs and getting drunk ;o)))

    If you get the money by Monday then I want 10% ;o)))

    sorry, all i can add to this is that your parents and brother are a bunch of spineless c***ts

    obtain proof from them by any means necessary that you took the loan out for them, and take them to court for the full amount plus interest.

    paddy, that won't work - clearly she has lied on the forms to get the cash (lied about the ourpose of the loan). Therefore she has no recourse through the courts.

    Lmao Diable! that was funny- but been there & tried that.

    Yes- the form said it was for my studies : (

    I spoke to a friend today- she suggested that I tell them i've stopped paying for it and that as guarantor they will be looking to my dad for the rest off it. obviously my dad won't be able to pay it so will get it off my brother.
    I'm hoping I can get the CAB to write me a letter to send home to that affect but not sure if they could.

    I would guess that OP is a girl and is expected to sacrifice her own well being for the good of the boys in the family. May be wrong though.

    Well, put it this way.

    Doesn't a applicant for a loan has to say what course they are going to do, how they will pay it back etc?

    Did she lie on the form saying SHE will do the course?

    Either way its madness to pay a loan for someone else. I wouldn't feel right or sleep at night if someone did that for me.
