Hey,


I posted a thread a few months ago regarding the most unsecured debt you have heard of but I was wondering what is the biggest credit card debt you have heard of?

    It's all relative (much the same as the answer to your previous post) it's not really the amount that matters, it's the ability to service it. Whilst we're all here for the same reason but everyone's situation is unique.

    Quantifying a debt as "biggest" or "worst" (or perhaps "worse than me"?) is a bit pointless IMO. I think it was Dennis from National Debtline that posted some figures and said he's had callers distraught over a few 100 but also callers barely even bothered about a six figure debt. There are just too many variables.

    One person's puddle is another person's ocean.

    What's the point of wondering who has the biggest debt ? This isn't a competition.
