February 2012

The latest figures for personal debt levels and industry statistics were published recently by Credit Action, the national money education charity. Again, these do not make pleasant reading and I hesitate to use the term but some of the "highlights" were:
  • £55,823 was the average household debt (including mortages) in December 2011
  • 8,652 new debt problems were handled by the CAB during the year to September
  • 1,797 people were made redundant every day between September and November
  • £15.68M of loans are written off every day by our banks and building societies
  • every 14min 17sec a property is repossessed.
And now, it seems, we are entering the next dip on our recession roller coaster. To read the full report, please click here
