    Depends what bill it is, rent Yes, they need it, credit card bill, No they don't need it.

    So you think they should not pay a cc bill?

    Being a few days late (or even longer) with rent will not see them on the streets.
    Gone ... or have I?

    You should never pay for credit by credit.

    Not by getting into more debt, No!

    It will if they live at home and owe money for their board.

    Or their LL knows people who like kneecaps.

    You could well be right (makes sense with the name and that's the price they sell for), but that's just stupid isn't it!

    If they can't afford to pay for a dog, how are they going to pay to look after the thing?

    You only really need about £200 for a weekend, booze fags, cab fairs if you know the right people a ride in to a club is for free.
  • In another thread, the OP says he/she is in a position to save £400 a month. I agree with other posters, if it's a bill, there is definitely no need to borrow money just for the sake of a few days

    What can you afford to pay back and when?

    Just for the record I'm not about to start loan sharking :rotfl:
