Cancer patient Tom Crawford says he will go to jail before handing over his home to bailiffs

‘Cancer patient Tom Crawford says he would “rather be dragged out and sent to jail” than let his home be taken by bailiffs.

Mr Crawford, of Fearn Chase, Carlton, is going to court tomorrow to defend the home he has lived in for 25 years.

It is the latest move in a battle with Bradford & Bingley over his mortgage.

The bank claims that the 64-year-old, who has fought prostate cancer, is in debt by more than £43,000. But Mr Crawford says he does not owe a penny.’
