Well, let me start by saying that this is nothing serious really, apperently, I was just scrolling down my reddit feeds and came across this post of a guy in a reddit gambling who said he was owning $6k as a result of sports betting, and obviously; he's not able to pay the money, and in other for him not to be disturbed by the lender, he changed his phone number, and he was asking for advice on what more to do to keep evading paying back that debt..
And another reddit user in the form of a comment chipped in an advice which after reading, I was really helpless with laughter 🤣🤣🤣, this is the funniest thing I comment I read on the internet today.
I just thought I should share, and maybe you guys have something to chip in too, find details in the shot posted below...
Just like you have said it was all for laughs but with that advice he can surely try it good luck if he can win instantly like that because instead of winning it big he will have a huge amount of debt when the time has come for him or if he becomes lucky then maybe he can pull through a win and return the $6K debt that he has from the initial lend that he makes but it can also make that $6k debt into a larger debt for sure.
I don't know in which country this guy who borrowed is living, but if he is living in a country where the central bank has criminalized loans made by unlicensed banks and by people who lend money and charge interest, then he can have the luxury of changing his phone number because the guy who lent money can't charge him with interest, but if the guy who lent him the money didn't charge interest and lent it to him as a friend, then the guy who lent money can report it to the police and they will arrest the person who borrowed money and doesn't want to pay. Therefore, in my opinion, it would be wiser for him to negotiate ways of paying the debt instead of changing his phone number, something like paying the debt in parts.
In different countries, there are different penalties and Punishment for people that has a loan and aren't able to pay it up well some countries will have the help of the police or the Lending in their law just to prevent people from doing bad stuff, and as I mention there are countries that have different punishments there are certain countries that will give the loaner jail time, and sometimes they will need to pay up for the right amount and will be given a deadline for it to finish the debt.
