Never once in my life, I would think I will resort to this way of publishing online to seek for help, but some people really leave me with no choice. I have my son with me, I need to think of his safety. I had tried numerous times to try to get in touch with the ex-husband and his parents but he choose not to bear the consequences and his parents ignored my pleas.
Me and my ex-husband, CHAN HON WAI NICK, (S78XXXXX) have divorced since year 2017 and lately he borrowed from loan sharks. On 15th August 2018 evening, I have been receiving harassment and threatening calls looking for me to pay off his debts.
The caller has details of my son’s school and class. They even have my office details. Mr Chan came to my home two weeks back informing he has borrowed from credit company and might have problem paying. At that moment, I didn’t think much and after telling him to settle it himself, he left.
On 15 August afternoon, Mr Chan dropped me a message informing me that he changed his mobile number. When I received the calls from the money lender, I gave the caller Mr Chan’s new mobile number to stop him from calling me.
That evening itself I went to make a police report on the calls and whatsapp messages received. But the police had just advised me to stay alert and no other actions were mentioned.
Mr Chan has not been staying us since April last year after our divorce has been finalised and have moved back to his parents home at Teck Whye Lane #0X-XXX. However, Mr Chan continued to use the address where my son and I are staying to implicate us with his financial issue. We were unable to move out of the house currently I have no alternative accommodation.
Left with no choice, I tried calling Mr Chan’s parents to ask him to do something about it. Yet all calls to them were either unanswered or rejected. Adding to my nightmare, the caller has been harassing my office since 22 August 2018 and my company had lodged a report. To my horror, on the 23 August 2018, I received a photo of my home gate from the loan sharks and demanding me to clear the total amount of $2980. Being a single mother, that amount is beyond my reach.
I am at my wits’ end, hence resorting to write here, I hope someone to inform any of Mr Chan’s family members to inform him, so that Mr Chan is able to sort out his financial issues. As a result of this, I had not been sleeping well, constantly in fear of my son’s safety.
My son was badly affected by this. He refused to go out alone without my company. He would jump at slightest noise if he hears anyone outside the door. Now he refused to sleep without the light off. This had severely affected my boy.
I have only this method left to create awareness and to let Mr Chan’s family members know their son/brother is in trouble and please don’t get unrelated people get involved. I also wish to caution people who knows Mr Chan be aware and careful. For all you know, Mr Chan could have used your personal details for unlawful activities too.
Having said, by publishing this, I don’t mean any harm. I myself do not even know if it is the correct thing to do, but this is the only way out.
