ok - he has an unpaid fine - about 60 pounds in his money without a job - yikes!

He lost his job way back in january - he has been working on and off for so many years. 2 years ago, he borrowed a 2000 pln personal loan. He has paid a little over 1000 pln which leaves 2337.60 pln. He has no possessions - only clothes and shoes and he lives with his sister! Untill he lost his job, it took a toll on his mental health. He suffers from a bipolar disorder and he was really down in his luck he eventually hit the drink and this was not a cause of mental health - it has enhanced it due to his poor situation. He is not drinking as much as he used to which is a good thing!

He says that if he cant sell his posessions and there is no way of paying his debt, he could face jail!

what i found under the new bankruptcy law of poland

"The new statute allows individuals to file for personal bankruptcy only in extraordinary circumstances that are beyond their control, such as unexpected illness, loss of employment or theft. Individuals who lose their property due to alcoholism or other addictions are not eligible to file for bankruptcy protection, as is likewise the case for those who were terminated from employment “for cause” or by way of settlement with their employer"...

Given the circumstances, is there any way where the courts can relax the situation? Given the fact he has a mental health issue which is out of his control. Also he lost his job because mental began to deteriate and they basically paid him off.

thank you very much

ok he is with the provident - independant money dealer, he says it was on raty everything was ok when he had a job, now he doesnt have an income PERIOD!!! no state benifits - bugger all! from what he says its too late now! so there must be some way round it - what can the polish courts do? if your all claiming he cant be put in jail, he cant file for bankruptcy, well he can try but the courts will turn around and say waste of time!

what can the courts really do to him?
