Debt Free Wannabee

Something ironic about a debt company that finds itself in debt. I don't know if it is a sign of good or bad things economically speaking, but it's the first time I have posted a link so I am quite excited.

It's only the BBC so you don't have to pay.

    The chief executive of Invocas, David Macmillan, said he believed economic conditions would continue to favour the debt industry

    I can't decide if this is meant to be a good or a bad thing...

    Oh chucky, surely you can allow a wry smile...loads of stories posted are no news....money goes up, money goes down, interests rates the same, some people buy, some don't...so on, so forth.

    Its sad piece of news, but pointing out the ironic, finding soe dark humour, its the British way...
