Man Commits Suicide Over £100,000 Debt
This Is Money.com reports on the sad death of Dereck Rawson. [ man commits suiicide over 100k debt ]
Gamblers who bet with credit cards and people just in general need to be careful when betting with credit cards. Dereck Rawson was'nt a high flier or anything. He got behind with his credit cards when things went bad for him and went from 10k in debt to a staggering 100k on the interest.
Derrick should have just declared himself bankrupt and let someone else worry about it. Instead he worried so much it must have unbalanced him to the point of writing this suicide note to his sister.
Dereck's suicide note.
Please forgive me for what I'm about to do and that is to commit suicide. I've run up large debts with credit card companies and loans for the last 15 years.Gamblog Comment :: Dereck just wanted to play cricket, that's all. The credit card issuers and banks involved should be charged with corporate manslaughter if you ask me. I don't give a shit whether they get a guilty or not, they should be charged and made to legitimise their behaviour.
Now I can't pay the bills and the different companies won't leave me alone. Can you please get the police to come and find me in the bungalow.
All my insurance policies and pensions etc in top drawer in spare room. Credit cards etc in second drawer.
Thank you for being such a good sister and for looking after me. Can you please ring work and tell them. Can you please tell Ashton Cricket Club.
I don't mind whether I'm buried... or cremated. Do it the cheapest way.
Can you please check my lottery on Wednesday night and collect £5 for win. Please find £5 for papers.
Please forgive me. Dereck.
