And they wonder why people get into debt!

I did a mystery shop today at a high street bank (well its £20 towards the debt hole!) and used the scenario that we had credit card debt and wondered what the best solution to the problem was.

The advice given to me was to consider transferring it to our mortgage and if we went down this road, we might like to consider borrowing a little extra to perhaps do up the house, change the car etc.

All I have to say is move over Carol Vordaman.....you've got competition!
