A bailiff gets control 3
Peter was stunned...scared, his mind racing, heart was pounding, it was only £230…..how could he end up in jail for £230?
What would his wife do? How would they manage? How would she get the kids to school? What would prison be like? How would they pay the mortgage? Would they lose the house?
