Oh PP, what an awfully sad story....it must have taken a lot for you to write it up. My thoughts and condolences.

Just wanted to add that in no way did you let your friend down - he must have trusted you a lot and thought highly of you to come and talk to you - that makes you a fab friend and the kind we all need.

I have just read your message about your friend and feel very sad. I will alway remember this in the future. So sorry for your loss and all the best

That's very sad.

It was the secrecy and loss of trust that took your friend.

I bet, if I'd met this couple socially , they'd have given the appearance of "having it all".

What's great about this site is that it educates people to take control of money, not the other way round.

Time for kids to be given personal finance lessons in school, then money wouldn't have this taboo around it.

Awful, awful news please accept my deepest sympathy. A salutory lesson for us all DFWs and wannabe DFWs. Remember the article Martin did with RBS about a customer who had committed suicide - I hope he reads this.

Read about this on the other board but in much less detail of course, been sat thinking about it since, it is so sad when life comes down to money, my thoughts are with you and of course your friends family at this very sad time.

There are lots of things in this that don't ring true. Did he leave a suicide note that says that is was because of debts and that someone can total up someone elses debt by papers lying about?

Especially the fact that a company who pays an employee £60,000 a year can't make contact with her and even worse that they discuss this over the phone with what is a stranger if he never rang a company phone number.

A sad story for sure but one you will never know the truth of and I doubt it is much to do with debt.

Maybe so. But your response it not akin with the tone of this sad story.

Thanks for post! It may not ring true with you but believe me...it is! I am not willing to go into all the details with you and answer irrelevant questions.
