    Do I report my own repayment history to the Credit Reference agencies? Do I automatically qualify for the credit card s75 protection by following your advice?

    Some people have credit cards for different reasons, if you are struggling then yes, taking control of your finances is a good idea. How ever, I couldn't be bothered with printing my own credit card statements etc :)

    Clearly if you had cut up your credit card you could afford a second pair for the kitchen :beer:

    Just so I'm clear: you're saying that upon cutting up my credit card I'll be able to afford a second pair of scissors? Have I understood you correctly?

    Yes

    SORRY I FORGOT TO TYPE IT IN CAPS BECAUSE THAT IS IMPORTANT

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
