the inevitable has happened

Oh dear me, what a poor soul I am

After recieving my credit card a few weeks after my 18th, I
have ran it into the ground, thanks to the help of bleep and
amazon. A never ending trail of orders has had a devestating
effect on what was once a healthy bank account.

You could just sign up for another, larger one, to pay off
the first.

Use this as a good lesson on why you need to develop self
control. If it is your first card you can't owe that much
money so don't worry about it. Live and learn. Learn.

couldn't be arsed going all the way to the top of the topic
to click for the followup.

I don't fucking get it. WHY DO YOU SPEND MONEY YOU DON'T
HAVE? I can't believe people. It just doesn't make sense.

Look forward to more upcoming inevitables such as:

Being caught wanking by your mum
Being happy slapped
Being black listed
Working Saturdays in Dixons

music is an investment so don't feel to bad at maxing out
your credit.

It is one of those unwritten rules, like, you have to quit
your first ever job. Because it is your first card I imagine
you don't have a big credit limit. Cut it in half and throw
it away and pay 15 quid more than your minimum payment each
month and consider it a lesson well learned.

I think I still owe Barclaycard 500 quid from when I was a
student!!!!

yes, music is too great to be considered a waste. Music is
on level much higher than money. Money can't touch you in a
way music can.

I've not worked at Dixons but I can vouch for the shoddiness
of Woolworths. Until you catch on that everyone is nicking
stuff and you collaborate.

lol. plus you can't really nick a camcorder from Dixons
whereas the pic 'n' mix section in Woolworths is where chavs
take their chavlings to learn the art of stealing.

yeah but he spent it on music at Bleep meaning he could have
bought the REAL music and just downloaded it then anyways.

how DARE you try to paint woolworths as a bad shop, i'lll
have you know their pick n mix is second to none.

just because you steal from the pic 'n' mix doesn't mean you
can be subjective in favour of Woolworths. Although your
horrified post did make me lol.

you have to learn to shop around, go window shopping while
your broke and then when you have money go back and buy the
bargains you have found. Or get limewire.

I did give you another option, seriously shop around and
make a day of it, although that will probably end up in you
spending more money.lol.

ohh well :(

This is a perfect opprotunity for you to develope good
credit.

First- chill on the charging for awhile.
Second- ALWAYS pay your bill on time. Even if you have to
make a minimum payment- never pay late, and never ,ever,
skip a payment.

Follow these rules and the banks will love you. Despite what
most people think they are not impressed by people that pay
their bill in full every month and using credit this way
will NOT increas your credit score. By carrying a balance
and making timely payments you will show your
credit-worthieness to the world and shame your friends with
your great credit score!

Soon you will have enough credit to invest in realestate and
will be rubbing elbows with the Donald Trumps of the world!

When I use to sell computers, the store told me that Credit
Cards do not actually establish credit. I don't know how
true this is but anyway that's what I was told.

may be one of those things that can't build credit, but can
take away from your credit rating. like phone bills
