interesting post
i think its true a lot of people do post that things are all good in the cc's world when in fact it is hard to build a client base and reach the point where you can support yourself and your loved ones . some are lucky and everything clicks . but i bet the truth be known there are days for most when they question what they are doing. i have two businesses as people who know me know. i am one of the lucky ones as i already have a client base from the second business and i get enquiries from the web . i forecast in time the cc business will take all of my time as the client base is beginning to build. but  i am not letting the old business go until i am certain of the fact. out of interest speaking to various people i get feed back that there is an underlying recession  happening which could  point to why  some people are struggling. but that's another debate that deserves its own posting

andy i think want you say about loans is true, i mean look at how all the loan companies are targeting people in fiancial trouble on the TV advertisments, consolidate your loans etc. thses adverts must surly be a sign of how much 'business' there is out there for em!!

i spose its good for them they must be doing very well, lol.

The latest advertisements that are starting to creep up are the "sell us your house for 80% of its value and rent it from us" jobs, just the icing on the cake for the money lenders,they now offer a complete service, they lend you more than you can afford (if you are gullible enough), then they consilidate your loans to give you more cash to waste, then they give you multiple peices of plastic, then when you realise your in the poop they buy your house at a knock down so you can pay it all off and let you pay you rent on it!
Bonus
