    Call the police about the loan shark.


    Don't do this.

    I certainly wouldn't even be considering opening up an ISA in your husband's name to save into (your other thread).


    You need to be saving for your family which doesn't include him.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
  • What a chump.

    As above, don't go to the police. Can't believe you haven't left and were prepared to put your children in danger. If him jumping off a bridge means you and kids are safe, so be it. Doesn't sound like the world will miss him.

    I have to say that I find the bit in bold shocking and distasteful in the extreme. :(

    If username901 wants to edit the post, I'll delete the bit where I've quoted it.

    What I would advise the OP to so is read back through the threads she's started since joining MSE and have a long, hard think about whether the relationship she is in is a good one for her and her young children.

    Don't do this.

    Why ever not? The more loan sharks that are taken out of circulation the better!


    They are parasites who prey on those who are not financial savvy or at the end of their rope.
