skyrocketed as did household overindebtedness a veritable scourge that would affect one person in twenty in europe especially in the u.k. . five years the guy me and my husband split up. i actually kicks my husband out and miss out a big impact on my children so i think at the time then i had a lot of making up to do to them and at the time i thought that the way i needed to make up to them was financially so i would just try many out them and christmases i would go ridiculous spend ridiculous amounts of money not thousands of pounds on stuff they didn't need and quickly they'd probably play with once then go in the water. so i straight away if i was certain i did it i took out a loan but then one line was not enough so i had to buy that line back then i took another loan to pay the loan back and the how to start game bigger and the death star game bigger. and it was spiraling out of control.

like many other british people sharon fell into the trap of easy credit with online catalogs where with a simple click one can buy all kinds of products on credit often with annual interest rates of up to thirty percent. it was so we say it was so easy to go online and go yeah it was my name my address my details yeah thank you very much money's in your account so i made them made it too easy for me to get into debt. as for philip he took out loans to supplement his meager pension but he went under when the government abolished his council tax exoneration for the elderly. whether i do or did three very well because of the worry over the weekend. i was actually going to bed over in

a wooden like oh good god i've got to show. to get a bill to apply more scared me throw more. i didn't know what to do. i'd lost complete national company or were. going to actually do work a few hundred looking for money. i would onto a phony. one of their clubs would outflow from pride that i am proud that that money you know. the bankers were how by the government the banks got into trouble and all the big bankers got big payout. on the government by the banks but i didn't think of the ordinary the ordinary men and women that. lost money through the bank. so because the bank the banks have been out of the government. the
