A fascinating piece by Jon Ronson from Saturday's Guardian:
Who killed Richard Cullen?
It began with a loan for £4,000 and finished with a £130,000 debt and a man ending his life in despair. His wife was barely aware of the calamity by credit card that had befallen them. How did it happen? Jon Ronson tracks down the bankers, the list-brokers, the lifestyle analysts who have made us the most credit-addicted country in the world

the credit card companies really are the new slave owners. I'm happy to say that I no longer have any credit cards, only a debit card. But my credit is damaged fo at least 6 more years, if they ever really erase it from your record after 7 years.
