Eidur in BIG debt.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Eidur, Lampard and Terry reportedly lost £600K in one afternoon a few years back. When questioned they shrugged it off.

That's now a fortnight's wages each, for men who are millionaires.

[H. Pedersen]

Eidur is said to owe Banque Havilland in Luxembourg £4million and Glitnir Bank in Iceland £1.8million. Other debts make the figure more than £6million.

Why are banks loaning him money for this?!

[Village_Idiot2]

I assume he has some properties, and his high wages make him a relatively low risk loanee.

Plus we have been witness of Icelandic banks' business acumen.

To be honest, if £6 million is his total debt and includes stuff other than gambling (mortgages etc) and he really is earning £3 million a year he's not doing too badly. Anyone out there who as a mortgage should think about how much they earn a year and there outstanding debt on that to get a comparison.

However, if it is just gambling debt he's probably screwed...

I rather suspect he dind't go in asking for a gambling loan, educated guess would be he negotiated a large overdraft, which on his wages would be easy enough, then pissed it away.

Thanks for that, johson the spambot - sadly, Eidur stopped reading this forum in protest at Sir Nut's banning but I will pass your message on via the medium of dance.

So, somebody developed a bot that scans forums around the world for any reference to debt, then that bot registers itself and posts on the thread?

Imagine if the people who came up with this **** turned their attention to world peace . . .

Its times like this that we should sound an 'off topic' alarm, and let the weakest of us run for cover while the big guns stay and slug it out...

I say Eidur's debt is all Margaret Thatcher's fault, personally...

If you are in debt, just write to the people yourself; say what you've got, tell them how much they can have, and don't be scared by any 'formal or legal' looking letters you receive. Under no circumstances fill out any of those 'means test , income/outgoings' forms the credit companies are so fond of, and never, ever,discuss your financial situation with a 'representative' over the telephone, no matter how hard they try to push you. If you owe under 20 grand, tell the company or companies to take you to court if they wish. If you have made them a reasonable offer usualy they decline legal action, as it's not worth the bother. Some may take you to County Court; don't be afraid as it's common practice for the CC Judge to side with you, as long as you are making some kind of regular payment, however token this may be. Also, keep copies of all correspondence, and a diary of calls made to you by finance/credit companies/debt collectors.

We Yanks are quite good at that moderation and modesty business, aren't we?
