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 LoansWeeeeell.....
It all started when I got a reasonably well paid job and decided that I'd stop deferring it and pay some off. Little did I know that the job (manager for Tesco) was so shitty that it would ruin my health and I'd have to quit and haven't worked 'officially' since. Had the idiots at Student Loans actually taken any money? No. So they sent me a letter. I ignored it, and then moved house. Did I tell them? No, fuck em. A year or two passed, and their debt collectors tracked me down, making me pay them what little I had. I was sent no direct debit agreement for this (which they should by law as it's a contract), contact details for the debt collectors, no official paperwork at all. So I cancelled the direct debit. Another two years later, have they noticed?
NO!!!
HAHAHAHA!!!!
