Or, uh, pay your debts and avoid getting into more debt.

I'm worried this kind of messaging is going to encourage people to get into more debt, and instead of getting the "power" you think you'll get, the bank will call your bluff and you'll be even more screwed.

If you have debt, you agreed to repay it, so you should. That's the responsible thing to do.
