    I've been Money Tipped!
    I still think you have a duty to let them investigate this loan shark, regardless of what your SIL says:

    1) She may well default and the threats will start again
    2) Undoubtedly there will be other poor people subject to his threats of violence

    He needs to be stopped

    I think you should bow out and let your Brother resolve this tbh. It sounds like you aren't getting the full picture.

    To have a wife who is stealing from him and borrowing from individuals capable of putting his life at risk to me indicates she is not really dedicated to him in any way.

    This will repeat itself over and over as he doesn't seem to fussed but

    you can keep hold of your money and not put yourself in financial disadvantage because the chances of you seeing any again are remote.

    Support him from a distance but on no account lend him money.

    GET him to change the will asap..she is back to finish the job..
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    Hadn't seen the updates. Your brother is mad, tell him to get rid of the thieving witch pronto and save himself the job in a few months time!


    Happy moneysaving all.

    It's better to regret something I did do than to regret something that I didn’t. :EasterBun
