Poll started 1 Feb 2005. Poll for parents. Childrens' TV Channels are increasingly including secured debt adverts. MoneySavingExpert.com is due to launch a campaign against this soon. The following poll is to help build up the information. Please answer, has your child:
a. Watched the ads and been unaffected?
b. Discussed the adverts with you?
c. Started repeating any of the slogans?
d. Suggested you should take out financing of this type?
e. Never seen the ads?
f. I don't have children
g. We won't let our children watch commercial TV to avoid this

All views are my own and not the official line of MoneySavingExpert.
If I did, I wouldn't want my daughter watching TV (TV for under-twos can lead to behavioural problems).
If she did watch TV I certainly wouldn't want her watching commercial TV, full stop.
The proof will be in the pudding, when they leave home and make their own way in life....or come back after univ, with large debts....ugh.
Still hopefully, they will have learnt to play the game well.
Best wishes to all

I'm glad something is being done about it, it doesn't hurt to try.

I notice that there is mention of this site running a campaign against the aforementioned adverts, however can someone explain what the campaign is against.
I assume what the companies offer is legal.
I can see targeting the wrong adverts at young children is wrong but financial products surely don't fall into this category my 2 year old is not going to nag daddy for a secured loan.
So what is the gripe?
I am all for campaigning but can't we choose something more worthy to rid ourselves of, how about the snivelling personal injury claims industry the worthless parasites.
