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?

not meby keeping a student house over a two year period , i ended up staying the summer with two people who had lieteraly no money. Im talking about having to save up coppers to get a bottle of pop. I was forced into paying any bills that arrived whilst the other flatmates were away for the summer.
none to happy to part with my hard earned money, I decided that i would only pay the bills on the last day of the red bill deadline, or sometimes after. the phone was disconnected three times. the reasoning behind this was the money would stay in my account longer gaing more interest.
However the bills were in the name of flatmate who whent home for the summer. (thats what you get for having the iniative to set up all the household accounts). when said flatmate returned in september he duly informed us that his credit rating had dropped so low that he couldent even get a phone contract! let alone the credit cards he needed.
