Just missed it :mad: :mad:
It wasn't my turn for the remote and guess what - yes the jungle ruled. :mad: :mad:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

I didn't get the bit where they asked 'why didn't they ask if the person gambling could afford to loose it'. IOt's another sign that people arn't responsible for their own actions.Barclaycard 3800

I cannot get my head around the fact that mse is quietly offering gambling facilities ie discounts to gambling sites etc
There was quite an outcry about the Carol V ads on the tv but imo having the gambling thread is just as bad. It must be so so easy for people to slip into addiction and debt.
But heh it`s ok. Just become bankrupt and start again in a few years

Kittie, absolutely right. Visit the GA website if you want to see a growing list of casualties to internet gambling but dont bother with government sponsered gamcare who are in my view compromised.0
