SINGAPORE – With eight years’ experience under her belt, Mrs Lyn Ling thought she had seen everything in the debt collection business.

But that was until Sept 17, when she and a colleague found themselves in the harrowing situation of desperately holding on to a female debtor who was trying to jump from a 13th-storey ledge.

“We went to her flat to serve her notice and talk to her as she had stopped paying her renovation loan,” said Mrs Ling, 35, founder of Fast Debt Recovery Specialist.

“Suddenly, she shouted at us, unlocked the gate and rushed towards the ledge outside her unit.”

Before dashing out of the flat, the woman had said in Mandarin: “I can let you see my two bank accounts, the total is zero. I jump down now for you to see.”
