  • I think it's a terrible attitude you have pal, dodging debts is shameful and immoral. I agree sometimes people run up masses of debs through reckless spending, but if you read all these boards especially the 'Debtfree Wannabe' one, you will see that most people do the decent thing and struggle to PAY them! Yes, you might have 'run away' and had them written off! but what about the millions of people out there who struggle on a daily basis to clear their debts and keep their self-respect and pride? I know what sort of person I would rather be!
    You spent it! You should pay it! Ridiculous that you even managed to obtain credit cards again after so shockingly running away from debts, having them written off and thinking it's so clever you'd like to do it again! Shocking!

    shiller supreme? This thread's got to be a wind up!
  • You will have trouble finding employment in financial services and this will spread to other industries if you still owe £1700

    - It is NEVER written off
