youll have noticed over the last few years all those sickening TV adverts for loans for getting into even more debt.The ones where youve got crap actors getting all excited about getting into debt and pretending to have the perfect family life.....you know the adverts.....gimme a bucket quick.I could go on all night its a bit of a "pet hate" of mine...dont get into debt...if you havent got owt,do without.....it aint important.

I wouldn't know, haven't watched TV in three or four years. But I'm not surprised.

Think its a UK thing mate,Theres a lot of stuff on the uk news about how crap we are at everything,even cricket.....which i hate anyway...its a stupid,pointless game.......cricket even gets on the main news!!!!....how!!!!.....nobody gives a f**k.
go to CAB (citzian advice bureau)
I pay 1 pound a month back on some loans no intrest added
Thease ads don`t tell you that most make you add your unsecure loans to your morage and lend you more money....wait until intrest rates rise ...you will lose your home

lol we are always taking the piss out of the picture the load advert, 'borrow 20,000 and pay back 42,000' written in the small print and in the older adverts they had pictures everywhere on the walls and the Tony heart music playing lol, the Geordie woman also says ' hello picture, I Was calling about a loan' I always imagine she says after that ' but I’ve seen your rates so im not going to bother now' another thing you might have noticed is that they all mouth the words '25,000' to there respective partners like its not a big deal, it always cracks me up!!

I'm glad to see that it's not just adult tv viewers being bombarded with loan adverts during each advertisement section... they are fair in sharing them with the younger viewers too so that they don't feel upset at loosing out... yup, even the children's channels have them on to make sure debt is programmed in nice'n'early. How considerate...
UNBELIEVABLY one smarmy advert laying it on thick with the 'Let us help you with your debt by consolidating your loans' had in small writing at the bottom of the screen 'taking this loan will increase your total debt amount'. There was me thinking it was all in the service of love... :p
