Hey guys
I am 21 year old male. I am a good guy. I help grannies cross the street. I step in if someone is doing something wrong. I do the right thing.
But I am a gambling addict.
My father before me was a gambling addict and he got me down the same path.
It has been a long and painful path. I cant think of a day of my life i have enjoyed the past 2 years. This is where I stand currently:
I have £50 to survive to the end of next month ( live with parents )
I have about 6 payday loan companies expecting to take about £300 from my account in a few days. Nothing will be in there.
I also have 2 loans of £5000 with santander & nationwide.
I feel that both the above companies destroyed their duty of care when they gave me a loan, when I applied I didnt think I had a cat in hell's chance... I already had at least 4 outstanding payday loans, I barely ever paid my phone bill on time, I was on gamblers anonymous forums, I was in contact with gambling charities... if these companies spent 30 seconds looking into me I am certain they would not have given this loan.
I also have my car insurance due to come out - I can find a way to pay this - But i may have to pay someone else and get them to pay the car insurance for me - as if i put the money in my bank one of these companies is sure to take it back out?
I am seeking help for my gambling, I have quit cannabis but I can never quit gambling... I wanted to go to a rehab, but can only go if i have £10k to spare. LOL!
I am so depressed. I am making plans for when I become homeless.
I have a car and a job, but nothing else.
What should i do?
God bless you for reading this
