I agree with Pam, I am also living with the result of someone’s relatives constantly paying off their problems and them never having to face any consequences. The problem with paying it off is it’s not a one-off bill that goes away, there’s an endless amount they can spend and by paying it all it is doing is giving them hope that they can continue like this. Also if you pay it allows the addict to have more credit then as the ‘lender’ will see them as a viable person to keep borrowing to, it’s like your a guarantor they will always get the money with you as a back up, maybe even more next time.
