    Find a girlfriend willing to take on your CC debt.
    Maybe then you'll be able to afford something?

    I heard on this forum it can work :)
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Would have been easier if I could have found one to take on mine back in the day.

    I would stick to advising people to pay there own debts like I did. ;)

    Do you wish to contribute anything to the actual subject of the thread?
