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?

Taken to the cleanersDue to the way I was brought up i'm fairly wary of getting into debt, overdraft, credit cards, taking out loans etc. but since i'm now in Uni i've had to bite the bullet and get a loan from the SLC.
My girlfriend has a £700 overdraft and a £300 store card with Dorothy Perkins (I know, tiny compared to the amounts some people on this QOTW are talking about). All of this has been spent on nowt more that drink, clothes and nights out, yet she called me stupid for getting the SLC loan!
Anyway, as pay back for her cheek i've refused to marry her/move in etc. until she gets rid of her debts. Now, rather than upping her overdraft which she knows I don't want her to do, she asks to lend money off me. I now answer the phone as 'the Bank of Sutcliffe' when she rings.
Length? Not today thanks.
