Urgent advice re letter from payday loan company
Comments
-
There are kids out there with parents who feed them on beans and toast and kebabs and make them sleep on mattresses in an uncarpeted house so they can smoke and binge drink themselves to oblivion every weekend. They would rather have SKY and a huge flatscreen than make sure their kids get a decent winter coat. I worked with the kids and it's a tragedy to see intelligent enthusiastic kids give up on life, worn down by the conditions they have to live in with parents who don't give a toss.
These are the same people who go get payday loans for more stuff and call themselves poor while drinking, smoking, wearing designer clobber and watching satellite TV.0 -
You say you worked with these kids......Where you an English public school tutor by any chance? I recognise the scenario, hungry at night, dorms with wooden floorboards, parents away living it up on stock Market investments that hadn't been realised yet, (I guess that's the same as a pay day loan in a funny sort of way) ,0
