2 things you can do: 1. Talk to the service provider that you wish to cancel the service and if they agree, check the lost that you will be incurring (usually full amount less amount / charges of services that you have consumed), which is a lot but better than nothing or better than continue paying something you don't need. 2. If the service provider do not agree to any form of cancellations without partial refund, write in to CASE and go down and talk to the officer with your receipts, invoice, payment etc and they would be able to provide alternative options. Hope you may cancel the plan and get back some $. Cheers

Hello Cho Yee, I’m really sorry to hear about your situation. It must be really stressful for you, and I hope you have ways to contact your brother to make sure that he’s safe as well. Please try your best to coax him to come home, and the both of you can try to fix this problem together. Similar to Charmaine below, I wonder if you owe the money to banks or to someone else? Because if the debt starts to accumulate interest then that might be another problem. ): If possible, I think you can seek help from Credit Counselling Singapore (ccs.org.sg). They are a non-profit that tries to help Singaporeans with their debt issues. Alternatively like what Sj Oh suggested, try contacting MSF to see if they can help. I’m not sure if this is also feasible. But if you need to pay off the debt ASAP (let’s say there’s an interest rate), then maybe you can borrow from family first? Perhaps cousins, if you don’t want to let the elders know about it. To me, I believe it’s better to owe money to people you know and trust because they won’t charge you interest. Which will give you more time to raise the money to pay off the debt. I’m sorry, these are all that I can think of. And please please please do not act on your suicidal thoughts. It is not worth it, your life is worth more than $5000. If you need a listening ear, you can talk to Samaritans of Singapore, or update us on your situation on the Seedly Community! All the best, I truly hope that your problem will be solved soon.
