You don't say a heroin dealer is "addicted to heroin", maybe you say he's addicted to selling or dealing with heroin, not addicted TO it. I can't understand how people can say or have the title of something like that without a second of consideration over it.
I think the title is an euphenism not a literal meaning. "Easy Credit" became so freely available that as one commentator on the show said "if you could fog up a mirror" you were given credit.
