Intellectually impaired Thanawat Promwong, centre, and his elder sister seek help over the debt drawn on credit cards in his name that he could never have obtained, in Phayao province on Wednesday. (Supplied photo)PHAYAO: The Justice Ministry will investigate the case of an intellectually impaired man whose identity was stolen and used to get 11 credit cards, leaving him with 610,000 baht in debts. Buachon Manrai, 47, said her brother had never applied for a credit card because he was intellectually impaired and his income too small to meet the criterion. The sister suspected his identity had been stolen and copies of his ID used to apply for the credit cards. She said Mr Thanawat first faced a lawsuit for a debt in 2003.
