damn radio-don't encourage them!!!!

gahhh the radio is encouraging EB's

I just heard a commercial saying how "credit card debt is not your fault"-yes, yes it is you bought stuff you couldn't afford and now have to pay for it*

during the 30 second spot for a credit counciling center it repeated that about ten times-I'm also kinda peeved that they only help people with self-caused debt(credit cards)-as I'm over $15,000 in debt due to medical bills from tearing out my PCL without insurance, and a bout of viral Meningitis without insurance-now that's debt that isn't my fault-but no one will help me with it, I'm trying to pay but at $100 a month it's gonna take a while....sigh....


*disclaimer-I know there are people that end up living off cc for whatever reason(lost job,, illness, etc.)-but those people usually don't try to say "it's not my fault-it's the cc company's"

BlaqueKatt-who wishes she could get a cc pay off her medical bills with it/them and then go to the credit councilor.....

now that's debt that isn't my fault-but no one will help me with it, I'm trying to pay but at $100 a month it's gonna take a while....sigh....

I have a friend who found a credit counsellor (in the States) who would help with medical-caused bills. It's worth keeping trying. Be persistent, keep ringing around the agencies until you find one.

Try the charities, especially the church-sponsored ones.

I know how you feel. I an $5000 in debt, because I missed one payment and got a repo. I need help paying it back. And I cannot get a loan, because of it.
