Kelvin is a fortysomething professional sponger. In the quarter of a century since leaving school, he has rarely worked more than a few weeks at a time, living comfortably instead by leeching first off the State, then off his ailing father and now off his hardworking girlfriend.
Kelvin’s indolent life was made even more comfortable recently with the inheritance of his father’s house. He thought he had it all sewn up. Until the lawyer’s letter arrived. Until he found out about the debt owed to his aunt and her husband for their many acts of kindness to his father. The debt that was due to be settled from his father’s estate.
Kelvin is shrewd and intelligent. He is also completely amoral. In order to fulfil his father’s promise, he would be forced to sell the house. So he’ll do everything in his power to disavow and discredit the debt, even though the cost of his own sister’s funeral accounts for a large part of it. Delaying, confusing, lying and falsifying. These are tactics that come easy to him. But does he succeed? Follow the posts in The Debt Blog to find out.
