Betting shops? Same situation:

As mentioned previously in this thread, have an addictive problem with illegal drugs, drink, gambling, your local NHS Trust and numerous charities are there to help.
Have an addiction to Babe Shows and you are met with ridicule and condemnation, as evidenced in this thread.
Perhaps Kev would be better of campaigning for the channels to accept that a small minority can become addicted to their product, and perhaps 1% of their profits could go towards helping the callers who find themselves sliding down the slippery slope towards addiction?

It's worth mentioning that his offer to pay Vodafone £1 a month to settle the debt was made several weeks before his bankruptcy. He can't make Vodafone any offers now, because being bankrupt it's out of his hands.

so I again ask the question to those who previously said how outrageous his offer was.."What more are you expecting???"
MONEY BANG has a good point and I thought I heard our hero Kev was setting up a foundation to help people in the same boat as him?

This in no longer the case, the foundation is no longer part of Kev's life goals .

Thanks for sharing your story, very insightful. I think a few people would say they have had very similar experiences.

Something that would settle the debt before the sun stops shining.
