Forgive us this day our daily Debt

BOI Chief has come out and said he’s not in favour of any debt relief for BOI customers.

I was in there yesterday switching a savings scheme and when I was finished she asked me if I’d like to avail of a loan of up to €65k with a 9.7% interest rate. I was tempted for a while of taking the money and making a runner as I was sure BOI couldn’t afford to hand out that sort of money. She also offered me a credit card deal to use when I’m abroad. After brief consideration and a quick glance at my account balance that had the letters OD next to it, I refused her kind offer and left.
