Yeah, it was so bad. I was struggling immensely with the 2k limit as addiction just takes over your whole life and then out of the blue CIBC phoned while I was broke.
"So you've made your payments for the past few months, I can approve you for a $16k line of credit right now if you'd like".
It was one of the most devastating conversations of my life. I wanted to scream "Why are you offering me this, I've done nothing to show I need or can handle this". But they get paid to sign people up regardless of how it ****'s them.
My last words were "So with a line of credit how do I get the money out, do I need to request it?". "Nope, you just take it out of an ATM with your debit card with the usual $500 daily limit".
The "every second day" is actually undershooting it. I went and bought blow about 5 days a week until the $16k was gone.
