"Let's be fair about this, we all partied" - does it justify economic conscription?

[Expose the lot of them]

I did not "party" in that context.

I worked hard, had a good job with a good salary, paid my bills, had some holidays all paid for, paid off my mortgage, did not "take equity", no property portfolio foreign or local, no holiday home,no replacing the car every year, bought my car in 2003 using a two year personal loan. No kitchen upgrades, no decking, same curtains on the windows since 2004, same tv since god was a boy.

In other words I had a decent lifestyle which I believe that everyone who works hard deserves and is entitled to.

The comments about his health are inappropriate in the extreme and only undermine the arguments about his competence and gain undeserved sympathy. Please keep the posts on the subject.

I didn't party, I worked.

+10.

I rented, socialised. The furthest foreign holiday i took the family on was to the isle of man, no charity balls in marbella, no skying holidays no property in Bulgaria.

I worked hard payed my way and now i have to pick up the tab whilst those who lived it up in most cases have walked away with large pensions and huge bonuses.

They only extravagant thing i did and for which i'm paying was get a '02 car on HP. When i lost my job i couldn't sell the car so had to return it and i am still paying the difference.

Actually i'm seriously considering telling the finance co. to go to hell.

As they are none other than an Anglo bondholder.................BNP Paribas!!

speak for yourself, i never partied, never in Galway Tent, never at Galway Races, never got a free lunch, never got expenses, never never got anything, Lenny cut your salary and expenses first and then ask for forgiveness

[bonkers]

how many people have died and will die in the future because of lenihan and his crazy "policies".I'm sorry but I've no sympathy for the man.

[rich1000]

Lenny thinks he can spread the blame by saying WE ALL partied

The reality is THEY and the GOLDEN CIRCLE of CRONIES partied

The rest of us all worked dam hard and heard stories of the parties in disbeleif

Now they want us to pay for THEIR party

I owe the bank €100k. And i'll pay that back.
The ************************************ that owes RBS 40 billion can pay that back himself. I wonder did sean dunne return ulster banks €800m before he head to the states

Ah you've never heard of the old adage.

If you owe the bank 100k they own you, you owe the bank 1 billion and you own the bank

Speak to MABs or one of the other debt advisory agencies, I heard somthing, you will need to check it out, to the effect that once you have paid 3 years on that type of loan and have returned the vehicle you can legally tell them to p..s off. In fact I would anyway, what are they going to do spend a fortune taking you to court. Write to them and tell them you are unemployed and cannot afford to repay the loan, offer to pay them €5-10 per month.
