    No worries about debt, phew!!! Pretty canny with the cards I have and tend to just use one or two on a regular basis. Rest gather dust, should close them shouldn't I. Slapped wrist for me.

    Sadly, it was accurate for me too! Basically - Take action to stop it getting worse.

    I don't consider myself to have a bad debt problem, but i know i need to stop it from getting any worse, so the feedback at the end of the test was very useful.

    My bad is withdrawing cash at the ATM from my credit card. Naughty..

    ...probably don't have too many worries about debt....


    Not too bad actually - I have debt but can pay it quite easily, I'm just trying to avoid getting any more debt.

    Hi
    I thought this test was about the same value as the slip of paper supplied by Zoltan the Fortune-teller on Blackpool promenade which said 'You will be lucky in life'. Cost me 50p.... whats lucky about that.

    Seriously, though, these tests are intended to make us all LOOK at our situation and possibly even DO something about it. Nothing wrong with that at all. Cheers. Bob.
