Debt pronWatching TV the other day we caught one of these "Bank of Mummy or the Wife" type shows and we thought, "This is Debt Pron." I.e. peoples financial problems exploited for the voyeuristic pleasure of others. Then we thought, "We bet lots of people on B3ta have massive financial problems. Let's exploit them." So, confess them all. Dodgy credit cards, lending money to some bloke in the pub, visits from the bailiffs, using one card to pay off another. We want to wallow in your fiscal pain. So, what is your biggest money fuck up?

Student fucking loansThose of you with the SLC, consider yourself lucky. They sold my account to a rapacious collections company ('Honours Student Loans' of Rotherham - you cunts) who threatened me with prison if I didn't start repaying immediately - despite me being unemployed and receiving no benefits at the time (couldn't claim for a number of complex reasons). I had zero income and zero savings and they forced me to repay. I had to borrow.
I, too, live in low-quality rented accommodation with my wife. We're treated like shit by the landlord and we share the building with a variety of Bulgarians, Indians and Poles (not to seem seem racist, but we are reduced to living like economic migrants because we have no credit rating and earn too little to get a mortgage). We never go out, have no TV, no pension and no savings.
I'm 34 and have two first class degrees. This country is fucking shite. If I had even a little bit of money, I'd be out of here as fast as a lie off a politician's tongue.
