Jacob Marley was Ebenezer Scrooges business partner. Unlike Scrooge Marley did spend on himself and had a large house near the city of London. However, he was as ruthless as Scrooge when dealing with business and would make sure the every penny spent created many for himself.
Marley died seven years before the story is told and is allowed to return to offer advice to Scrooge. That advice is to change his ways and to help his fellow man. He tells Scrooge that he (Marley) had made for himself a huge chain of torment symbolised by a long chain wrapped around his body interlaced with ledgers, safes and money bags. IN his foretelling Marley warned Scrooge that Scrooges chain was already seven time longer and therefore heavier to carry that his own . He finally lets Scrooge see other spirits who are like himself suffering everlasting torment. It is then that Marley tells Scrooge he will be visited by three ghosts who are to help him...........If he listens to them.
