    She got a taxi. Distance of 100 miles which took a couple of hours.

    Doesnt add up but I wish her well and hope that she get the helps that she needs.

    Let's just say that its a true story that is being exagerated, or the whole thing is made up, or that its largely true but some details are being changed deliberately because being in severe debt that you're trying to conceal from others or hide from yourself makes you paraniod, or let's say it's all completely true... this is a person who needs support, and has come here to get it, let's lend support if we want/ can and if we are cynical or disbelieving we could move on to another thread, and not risk upsetting an already very troubled person. Just a thought. :-)

    I agree here....regardless if you think this is true or not it would surely still be worth giving the advice that has been offered.. The chances are others reading this who have had one or more of these situations could benefit from the advice and perhaps get comfort that someone else "has been there".

    I hope it's getting easier OP

    I've not added any advice because all I would suggest has been said.

    Why would BMG get a taxi to take her to hospital ?. She has no money so how did she pay for it?. Also, she has a car, so why not drive?.
    The journey would only take her 2 hours at 50 mph.

    As others have said, something does not add up. She would be entitled to benefits of some kind if disabled, such as ESA or PIP.

    If she is genuine, then I would suggest she registers with a site such as 'GoFundMe' or 'Youvegotfunds' and posting her tale of woe on there. She would soon get enough donations to clear-off her debts. After all, some of the biggest earners tend to to those who list campaigns such as 'Disabled, separated & about to lose home through joint debts'.

    Yep, "help out a sports team that has no funding" loses out...:cool: (tries to stop feeling bitter). I have donated to some campaigns with the quoted title styles, I just wish karma would give back :)

    If indeed OP invented the whole story, I fear she needs psychiatric help rather than debt advice.

    Whilst I hold a lot of empathy for people who truly struggle, often through no fault of their own, I abhor fantasists ( there's plenty of human made misery in this world already.)


    Also, putting aside everyone's suspicions, she's rebuked well meaning posts as spiteful. Which is why, I' m out!

    I have had some bad news today. My missing hubby is in hospital. He has had a serious car accident and is badly injured. I am currently packing to go and visit him. The police rang me because they found my name and number in his wallet. I am heartbroken that this happened. Don't know what I am going find when I get there. Just waiting for a taxi to pick me up and take me to hospital

    Really sorry to hear your troubles OP, but I am a little confused. At my age this is not considered unusual though...


    I have yet to work out how to multi quote, hence the copy/paste on the second bit.


    How did your hubby have your number in his wallet if you only changed it after he left?


    Sorry if that's been answered - I couldn't find it though :D
