This is a question Debt pron

Watching 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?

My biggest mistake...
was turning 18 and getting every single bit of credit i could.

it started when i decided to go into HSBC to get a loan for £3500 to buy a car and to pass my test. then i decided to get a credit from HSBC (£500) for a headunit mainly but i did max the rest on a piss up (as usual).

what happened next was a bit of a kick in the bollocks i decided to go out on a wednesday night got a bit pissed and went home after a good night then i get home and decide to go for a drive (before passing my test) all going well and good then the fucking police decide to pull out from behind a building site and pull me over for speeding (60 in a 40) next they decided to breathalize me oops over the limit...

court was next and get away with an 18 month ban £279 fine all well and good i suppose in the situation.

i then lose my job just before christmas so i go into HSBC and tell them i cant afford to pay loan back ATM they say fuck off so off i toddle to Welcome cunting finance. £1500 loan please i say... and they say YES!

as it was just before christmas i decide to go out a few times and blow the lot bit of a mistake i suppose.

anyway 4 years later and £12500 in debt i cant get fuck all credit and i am seriously considering bankruptcy...

i did miss out the mobile phone bills and spending all of my wages on beer and fags.

i am now in a decent job but i still havent learnt and think i should grow up and start spending wisely but i just cant stop getting pissed.

im young so i should just take everyday as it comes i suppose and think about my debt in the next year or so.

anyway that was a shit story but hey-ho im a newbie.

no complaints about length from the girlfriend so you shouldnt moan either.

*edit* forgot to say ive only paid about £500 in four years....
