isn't that the case with 1000's of families ,i also know many families ,some i have done jobs for (built conservatories ect.)all on finance ,massively overstretched motgages,car finance ,10grand on the credit card .In this case without having access to the family finances we will never know ,but i do accept that many people have fallen victim to temptation of easy credit which is why the country and the world is in the financial mess we are in
