How Have You (Or Someone You Know) Used Check Cashing or Similar Services to Sustain an Addictive Drug Habit?
Question by Cameron: How have you (or someone you know) used check cashing or similar services to sustain an addictive drug habit?
I’ve heard that people get hooked into Check Cashing/Loan Forwarding and this, co-mingled with serious drug addiction, enables an individual to feed their problems through monetary debt. Have you suffered from this vicious cycle? What happened, how did you get out of it? Or are you still in debt?

Payday loans, vehicle pawn, regular pawn, side jobs (cutting grass, working on cars, home repair), theft, prescription fraud, and selling sh** on e-bay all fueled my addiction. I did anything and everything to get what I needed to get high. Four years ago I finally got busted for a handful of felonies. The check cashing stuff was actually dropped in court (the prosecutor didn’t care about it, plus the courts have issues with check cashing places). What really got me free was a little time in jail and then straight to rehab and then a year on my parents’ farm. After four years I’m pretty much straight with all my debts. I still have to deal with one credit card company that gave me a 1500 card that I did cash advances on and maxed out in 2 weeks to deal with and I owe my parent’s about 13 grand for the cost of bail and my lawyer. Drugs are bad…very VERY bad
