A MAN who owes a Co Donegal credit union more than €17,000 for an unpaid car loan has been ordered to pay it back – at a rate of €20 per week.
Christopher Toye, from 5 Moyle Road in Milford, wasn’t in Letterkenny District Civil Court for the hearing.
Patsy Gallagher, solicitor for Mulroy Credit Union, told Judge Paul Kelly that Mr Toye owed a total of €17,253.
He said the money was originally loaned for the purchase of a car.
A statement of means was provided to the court.
Judge Kelly approved a repayment scheme based on Mr Toye’s means of €20 per week.
The judgement means Mr Toye will have to make 862 weekly payments to clear the loan – taking 16 and a half years.
