That is something one could sympathise with. I can only speak for the two instances I've come across personally - and that wasn't so and a friend of mine is still owed money to this day (ie many years later) by the person concerned.
Irrelevant anyway - as OP has the money to repay now. It's not an anonymous institution called "the bank" - it's all those individual little people and firms that have put the money into "the bank" in the first place. "The bank" will be making very sure they aren't the ones that lose out because of this. Same as with T*sco - that won't take monies lost from their profits. Instead they will charge shoppers more and/or pay suppliers less. Those ripples on a pond spreading out to affect all those involved...0 -

I think you should read the original question. I don't recall asking for a debate on quite a broad subject. I also don't think people are right to judge without knowing any facts other than I went bankrupt at some point.0 -
We now live in a society where debts is the norm and not repaying has no shame. The more people do it, the more normal it become. People want their cake and eat it and society allow them to. I always wonder when the time will come when there will be so many doing it, there will be no-one left to pick up the tab.0
