    Greek woman who can't afford her debt and the banks won't do a deal with gets 4 years on the breadline and the majority of her debt forgiven:
    Bank customer’s debt forgiven
    However, in the Hania case, the court ruled in favor of a full-time civil servant. The divorced woman, who has three children, asked to be given protection after her banks refused to offer her new terms for combined loans of 112,000 euros. The unnamed woman explained that she did not have any assets she could sell to pay off her debt.

    In its ruling, the court deemed that the woman, who has moved in with her parents, needs 350 euros a month to cover her own costs but that the rest of her earnings could be distributed equally among the three banks she owes money to. The judge deemed that this process should last for four years, meaning the woman would pay back some 30,000 euros and the remaining 82,000 would be written off.

    Seems to be fairly recent news, I could only Greek articles about it:

    Διαγραφή, κατά 70%, σε χρέος δημοσίου υπαλλήλου, ύψους 112.656 ευρώ, αποφάσισε το Ειρηνοδικείο Χανίων. Όπως αναφέρεται σε σχετική ανακοίνωση της Ενωσης Προστασίας Καταναλωτών Κρήτης, η υπ’ αριθμ. 344/2011 σημαντική απόφαση έρχεται από το Ειρηνοδικείο Χανίων να δικαιώσει πανηγυρικά δανειολήπτρια δημόσιο υπάλληλο, μέλος της Ένωσής μας, η οποία ένιωσε ξαφνικά τον τελευταίο καιρό να διαφοροποιείται το οικονομικό της "προφίλ", να την πνίγουν τα χρέη, μια και είδε το εισόδημά της να χάνεται και τα όνειρά της να γκρεμίζονται, χωρίς δική της υπαιτιότητα, αλλά από τον σχεδιασμό της ίδιας της Πολιτείας, με αποτέλεσμα να θεωρήσει μονόδρομο την ένταξή της στον νόμο 3869/2010.
    Google Translate: Chania: "mow" 70% debt is official!
    Χανιά: "Κούρεψαν" κατά 70% χρέος δημοσίου υπαλλήλου!

    Χανιά: "Κούρεψαν" κατά 70% χρέος δημοσίου υπαλλήλου!

    Μια ακόμα δικαίωση ήρθε αυτή τη φορά από το Ειρηνοδικείο Χανίων, το οποίο «κούρεψε» κατά 70% τα χρέη μιας δανειολήπτριας.

    Όπως διαβάζουμε στα haniotikanea, η εν λόγω κυρία ήταν δημόσιος υπάλληλος, η οποία χρωστούσε συνολικά σε δάνεια και κάρτες, το ποσό των 112.656 ευρώ.

    There's a German article about it too:

    Ein Gericht in Kreta hat einer Schuldnerin erstmals den Großteil ihrer Bankschulden erlassen, obwohl sie einen Job hat. Das Gericht befand, dass es der Schuldnerin nicht zumutbar sei, ihre Kredite in Höhe von 112.000 Euro zurückzuzahlen. Tausende weiterer Verfahren werden erwartet.

    Interesting case yet it seems pretty common sense. If a person can't pay, then as the saying goes "you can't get blood from a stone".

    Stuck on €350 a month to look after three childrens seems pretty difficult though maybe cost of living is cheaper down in Greece.

    Probably would have been better off to not move in with the parents then go through court case so it wouldn't be taken into account in her cost of living then move in with parents after to reduce her cost of living.

    If your honest, you get crucified, that is the problem with our current systems.

    Sadly, that seems to be the case. :(
