Hahahah, oh man, lol, that gotta smart.
I owed someone some money once, it was quite a bit, about a month's worth of income. You see, the new Zelda game came out and I wanted to play it through with Dan while on the phone. So I said to my creditor, "Mum, I can't pay you back at the moment, the new Zelda game is out. HOWEVER, I'm a man now, and if you want, for the next 3 months, I can pay you back half of my pocket money (so I can pay my living expenses)" and she said "Alright son, you're a man now, and I think that's fair".

So, over the next 2 months, I only had half of my income, but eventually it was paid off and I was a free man once again. On the last month, I said "Mum, I'm a man now, and I can't do this anymore, is there any odd jobs around the house that I can do to pay it off quicker?". So, she pointed to the paint bucket, and the fence, and said "Son, you're a man now, crack on".

Well, I painted that fence, it was the best damn painted fence there ever was, by the time I was done. And so, the debt was wiped out.

So, I was wondering, maybe, you could call the bank, and say to them "Bank, I'm a man now, I'm owning up to my responcibilities... do you need any jobs doing around the office? I'm not a qualifide chartered accountant, but I have a calcuclator and a willing heart. You point me in the right direction, and I'll make my damnedest sure that job gets done good".
