A 52-year-old sandwich vendor, Tassanee, filed a police complaint regarding a Bt10,000 loan from 12 years ago, for which she claims to have repaid Bt2.6 million but still owes Bt280,000.
Tassanee reported paying Bt1,000 daily in interest for the past three years, with missed payments added to the principal, causing the debt to spiral.
She sought assistance from a help organization to file a formal complaint, highlighting her struggle to manage the endless debt with her daily income.
Authorities plan to mediate a settlement between Tassanee and her creditor, noting she had previously registered for help but did not follow up.
The unnamed creditor has reportedly agreed to write off the outstanding Bt280,000 debt.
