They are better than accumulating bank charges, but I hate the way people who are in trouble with them, shift the blame to the companies themselves...

I'm 67 years of age in a couple of months and I've never borrowed money from anybody, never bought anything on HP (if I've wanted anything I've saved for it) I've had a Mortgage, as have a lot of people, but we're now in the age of buy now pay latter, or in other words a false economy.
Many years ago I used to frequent the Great Tree pub in Hassy, and a lad I knew from Ossy was also a regular, one night he asked me if I could lend him a couple of quid until he got his Giro, which I did. When he got his Giro he gave me the money back as soon as he came in the pub, but this started a cycle, he started asking me every week, until I decided to end it once and for all, he came to give it me back and I just, na its right, you keep it, then you'll never need to borrow it again, never asked me again
