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?

Virgin mobile are a bunch of knob jockeysI've just been turned down for a Virgin mobile phone on a 12 month contract.
Don't know why though!
I've got an orange contract that ends this week and I thought I'd just get one with Virgin but despite being in full time employment and owning my own home for some reason I'm not allowed a Virgin phone.
The snotty "Emma" at mobileshop.com just said "You need to talk to Equifax about your credit rating". I asked for formal notification from them that the Virgin contract was not being set up so I could shop elsewhere and not end up with 2 phones. To quote Emma's FULL and formal notification by email: "Order declined, regards.".
Errr.... cheers, that's great customer service you have there!
Never mind, plan to renegotiate with Orange instead.
EDIT: Applied for new Orange contract at 1pm, phone now dispatched and contract all sorted by 3pm!!! Further proof that Virgin mobile are c*cks.
