NETeller, I set up Firepay, Central Coin, Click2pay, and about four of the other smaller ones... I built up my credit with all these companies to where I had about $750.00 in credit with them.

Can someone tell me if these companies give credit? (I only use Neteller, and as far as I'm aware, it doesn't.)

I'll be ~40k in the whole when I graduate college, so dont feel bad. But I can still open a bank account and do have very good credit.

If you're calling 'bouncing a check' giving credit, then yes. Otherwise no.

Scott,

Thanks for your honest post. Don't pay attention to the negative comments.

It sounds like you have compulsive gambling tendecies. I would suggest visiting Gamblers Anonymous. You may find a supportive environment there. Also bear in mind that losing 6K is really not that much money (although it may feel that way). I would suggest making payments to all these companies (even small ones, $5 or $10 every paycheck) so that your credit isn't ruined. Remember, they just want their money back. It will also be good for you to pay it back. An extra job and you will find this debt paid off sooner than later.

Make a pact with yourself to not gamble until this debt is repaid (at the very least).

Block access to credit with all these companies, including your credit cards.

Keep in mind that many many people have lost FAR MORE than you have lost. I lost 200K in one night at the Baccarat tables in Las Vegas. I felt absolutely horrible. Then I heard the story of a woman who lost 1 million gambling. Suddenly I felt less alone.

Get yourself into GA. Put this into perspective. Learn from this. Pay back the debt. Move forward.

All the best to you, Scott.

You are accountable for your own actions. You are 100% responsible for your own stupid decisions in this case. NOT online poker. So please change the title of your post to "I ruined my life being a [censored]."

This has got to be a troll post.

"I know I will get made fun of and flamed but if I can help save one person from making the same mistakes that I did, than this post was worth it."

You were right. Hope you get this issue sorted out. GL.

It seems to me that you were going to do something stupid, online gambling was just your chosen method.

If you are this careless and reckless, you were going to find some way to screw up your life.

Please don't blame online gambling, which when treated responsibly, brings fun and entertainment to a lot of us who can handle ourselves appropriately.
