Just when Janet Ramsey thought things were working out for her, several curve balls threatening to damage her health and wealth have been thrown at her.

Ramsey told THE STAR that after setting up a business with an ex-boyfriend, the relationship failed and she was left to shoulder all the loans they took out to get the business off the ground. Although she was optimistic that the business would generate profit and make her life better, she has come to realise that life is now much worse.

She took about five business loans, Ramsey said, in order to set up her retail business. These loans were to be repaid by both parties. But now she has to shoulder the cost herself. She told THE STAR that she was further set back recently when her car was broken into and the goods she sells were stolen.

She said: "My clothes were stolen when they broke into my car. I'm trying but it's so hard. It's not like I'm not trying." She added that she tried to get a loan from a bank to cover all the other loans but did not get approval for the amount she requested. Her financial situation has started to take a toll on her health, as she now suffers from nerve trouble. She has problems sleeping and is constantly nervous and worried.

"My mother also died recently and I had to help with the funeral. If these people are willing to wait, I would be able to pay, but they are not," she said.

Ramsey is willing to do whatever it takes to get rid of these debts and told THE STAR that she would accept any job that can help her to earn more money.
