In my case my debt wasnt due to overspend, more due with being left in the lurch by a so called friend, so i dont have that pathological fear of credit some understandably might. Im happy to take it, as long as its under my budget.
Don't blame you Rovex, as long as you take control of your finances then you should be ok.
