Hi Aftermath,
Now that is tough. I hope you don’t mind me offering some sound advice based
on my own experience. The thing about credit card debt is that not only is it
a rollover debt, i.e. it keeps coming round, goes on forever and rolls you over
every month, it is also very expensive in interest.
I had a credit card at one time, I run up a debt of £2000, with an interest
rate of 18% apr. which was a lot of money in the 1980’s. I was hooked on the
darn thing. I never seemed to be able to pay it off. Like a cancer it grew
and grew uncontrollably. I even had a savings account with money in it which
earned 5% apr. All I seemed to do was to service the debt.
One day I screwed the nut. I talked to a lady friend about it and she told me
that she had had the same problem and gave me the following advice on how to
get shot of it...What I did was to get rid of the credit card, used my savings
to help pay off some of the debt, took out a two year, personal term loan and
paid off the rest of the credit account with it. It was tough for a while,
especially the withdrawal symptoms, the repayments and shortage of cash top
ups. The bad habit of putting ones hand in ones wallet every time I fancied
buying something, particularly an extra special cheap deal, took some time to
undo. I carried a carrot instead and ate that every time I had the urge.
I have never looked back, even got to like raw carrots and have had money in my
pocket ever since. The best way to rid oneself of temptation, is to remove
it... J. I know, I am a hypocrite, abusing the sayings of my favourite
writer, Oscar Wilde...but he wasn’t right on everything... J.

Dougie.
P.S. Did you know that it can take us much as 300 times of NOT doing some
behaviour before you retrain your mind? It takes twice as many times as that,
unless you use substitute behaviour...It’s why people find it so difficult to
stop smoking.

Hi Aftermath,
Perhaps they only take on honest customers who have nothing to hide, especially
when it comes to handing over their money...and of course when the state comes
along and demands confirmation of an alibi for some crime or other...what is
gonna happen then? They’d drop you like a ton of bricks.
LOL i just want to use it so I can get a day off of work without being fired,
and my credit is so shit at the moment that I dont have the ability to pay with
a credit card :P
But in all reality, their company probably only consists of a few people.. I
dont think it would be hard for some one to set up something like this and make
it look more professional (their website looks second grade TBH) and accept
bitcoin to boot
