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?

Since I was old...enough I got a loan to buy a nice new mountain bike (still got it, just don't use it), I then took out a loan with the Halifax for things, then less than a year later I got a loan out for a car and a loan for a £350 head unit from Halfords (which I borrowed more against and ending up owing a grand!), and got a £1,600 overdraft with the bank.
Now, my overdraft is clear (it's amazing how easy that is when you don't pay any rent), my Halifax loan was cleared in October and at the end of January I'm being made redundant so will use that to clear the head unit and car loan.
So, 1st February 2007 I'll be debt free as I have no intention of paying any money back to my landlady !!!
