My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

I didn't pay mine...I always intended to, but the opportunity to get the better of a smug twat of a corporation who couldn't see the wood for the trees got the better of me.
I missed a payment date - one single, solitary payment date by a couple of days. My fault admittedly, but the bank thought it appropriate to register their displeasure by decimating my credit overnight. This, they then did.
Next, they then wrote me an unbelievably patroising letter informing me a) of said action, and b) that if I missed another payment date they'd write off the debt and destroy my credit.
Panic ensued... for around 10 seconds, which is how long it took to occur to me that they were planning to write off, not pass-to-sharks, the debt. And, by way of punishment, do effectively fuck-all to my credit rating (which, in any case, was no longer something I needed concern myself with for a fair few years).
"Deal", says I, via the medium of purchasing alcohol with payment I was due to make that day.
