      I don't say this to insult you or put you down but really sounds like it is time to get some help.

        GPWM - If you don't have a Gambling / Alcohol / fast car / Sex or Drug problem over here, you better get one sharpish, otherwise you will get chucked out

          Thanks for the advice guys. Although do you think my chances of getting SC is slim?

          I thought it would be better to tell them what I am in debt for rather than just say I am in debt.

            As has been said a number of times. We don't know... And if we did what difference would it make. Apply, be honest and see what happens. If you take any opinion of ours and it turns out to be wrong we've done more harm than good.

            Tell them what they ask. Nothing more, nothing less.

              Totally agree with that. It's a test of honesty at the end of the day.

              And what makes you think they don't already know the answers to the questions...

                  I'll take that bet. Can someone lend me a tenner?

                    Thanks for the optimism. Sounds like I need to look for a new job.

                      And that's why you shouldn't ask our opinion if you will pass or not.
